Jul 10    NFP Keeping Your Audience Focused on Your Mission Post-COVID-19
Keeping Your Audience Focused on Your Mission Post-COVID-19
As people return to a slightly more normal lifestyle, your nonprofit still faces many challenges. Will the COVID-inspired generosity continue? Will certain funding sources run dry? Keeping your audience engaged with the true scope of your mission is essential to maintaining support, but how can you reduce dreaded donor fatigue? 
 
Emily Taylor, of teenyBIG, uses decades of experience using human-centered design to connect and inspire audiences toward mission-driven organizations. In this workshop, we will discuss the fundamentals of seeing your work through your audiences' eyes and create new, compelling ways to tell your story during this time of information overload.

Virtual Progressive Networking Luncheon: Making Small Group Connections
 
Join us for our very first Virtual Progressive Networking Luncheon when you'll make connections via Zoom!
 
One of the most popular formats for our luncheons in the past has been our "Progressive Luncheons" when we switched tables and got to meet new people. Well, we're taking that on... Zoom-style! Those who register will be assigned to breakout rooms so you'll have a chance to interact with a "round-table" of people, times THREE.
 
12:00 to 12:15 -- Breakout Session 1 (Salad)
12:15 to 12:30 -- Breakout Session 2 (Entree)
12:30 to 12:45 -- Breakout Session 3 (Dessert)
 
We will then gather from 12:45 to 1:15 p.m for some additional networking time together.
 
It's a new world and we're ready to adapt. So come join us for this first Virtual Progressive Networking Luncheon! You never know who you'll meet.
