The Mission of Your Work & the Power of Your Story 

Thursday, April 11 | 1:00pm - 2:15pm 

Session Description:

As government agencies - or any organization that depends on the support of the community for your success - you understand the importance of establishing and maintaining a positive relationship of trust. Gaining that trust comes not only from the work that you do but also from the story you tell about the mission and goal of your organization. Stories about the mission of your work can be used to ignite the passion of stakeholders and champions of your organization and those champions can encourage and support funding.  

  • Define the power of the story.  What needs to be shared to engage volunteers and professionals to promote the work and mission of your organization
  • Using proven models and methods of social media platforms to engage the community, participants will discuss marketing strategies that will result in stronger funding opportunities
  • Outline tactics for funding mechanisms and sources
