Please join us for our NPO CONNECT May Meeting.

In this workshop our presenter, Melissa Le Roy, will be sharing insight into how to make your storytelling a truly effective tool in raising awareness and gaining support for your organization’s mission!

Facts and figures can be mind-numbing, but a story opens ears, eyes, minds and hearts.  Attend this session to learn the tools to build stories that will not only spearhead your fundraising and advocacy efforts, but also strengthen your organization’s culture and reinforce its values.
