"The
success of an outreach or development campaign hinges on the clarity
and focus of its communications strategy."
In this workshop, you'll learn how to determine the single most
important point you need to communicate to make your non-profit
both memorable and distinctive. This means all your communications
vehicles work harder for you and your development or fundraising."
