Learn from Dawn Crawford at BC/DC Ideas, who has dedicated her career to nonprofit communications. She has spent every day of the past 20 years supporting nonprofits to communicate their mission better and change the world. She has worked with over 100 nonprofits as CEO of BC/DC Ideas, and over the past decade, she has led teams to build campaigns and manage communications programs to achieve goals and change minds. She has experience communicating nearly every cause and has launched every tactic in the toolbox. She still lives as a hands-on practitioner while serving as a communications director for nonprofits and still gets dirty with all the tasks you deal with daily. She’s practical and experienced but always turns to the light instead of sharing the darkness.


Sessions will focus on:

  • Tips you can use immediately but also help you plan long-term
  • Quick level-setting on communications jargon so you are not left in the dark
  • Cool tools to make your life easier
  • Real talk about how to keep yourself sane and successful
  • Tools and worksheets to help you share your vision with others and keep yourself on track

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

We can’t wait to fill up your cup with inspiration and a can-do attitude!
