Overview

Get a grip on your nonprofit organization’s voice, tone and key messages. Having succinct and distinct topline messages can help your team be effective and clear when promoting your mission.

Invest 60-minutes in fine-tuning your messages to successfully communicate to supporters, donors, volunteers, board and the media. A lucky few participants will even get a chance to pitch your nonprofit to the group.

In this course:

  • Fine-tuning your organization's voice and tone
  • Developing effective key messages
  • Ideas to modify key messages of your top audiences
  • Get the elements to a perfect elevator speech

In every session:

  • Get a pep-talk - YOU CAN DO THIS
  • Practical tips from a nonprofit communications professional who is implementing on a daily basis – just like you
  • Bring your questions - the last 20 minutes will be your time

Learn from Dawn Crawford, who, as the owner of BC/DC Ideas, has worked with over 100 bosses (nonprofit leaders and communicators) in the past 10 years and has encountered every communication style. Learn from her about how she has been able to adapt her work style to fit any personality to help her achieve her goals.
