We will include a plan to engage our board and executive director. In addition, we will define tools needed to do the job and learn why adequate infrastructure is critical.

Nonprofit Marketing Certificate
Nonprofit Board Development Series
Integrated Marketing Communication II: Promotion
Developing the Proper Investment Strategy for Nonprofits
Capitalizing on the knowledge of promotion planning acquired in Integrated Marketing Communication I, this workshop addresses specific uses of promotion for the nonprofit organization. Topics to be covered include motivating audiences and donors, branding your nonprofit organization, and branding your annual campaign fund drive. Participants will produce a draft promotion campaign for peer review and instructor critique. To receive the full benefit from this workshop, participants are strongly encouraged to take Marketing Basics I and II, and Integrated Marketing Communication I prior to registering for Integrated Marketing Communication II.
In this workshop we will address the myth that an organization must have a substantial sum of money before it concerns itself with developing an investment strategy. In reality, it is often more important that groups with smaller asset bases structure a solid approach from the beginning because every dollar counts. In this workshop we will discuss the components of a strong investment approach, as well as the implementation and oversight involved. Additionally, we will examine how a proper investment strategy can benefit an organization, not only structurally, but in its fundraising efforts as well. This course is designed for individuals who have an interest in, or fiduciary responsibility to, their organization’s financial well being.

“Gardens to Go: Portable Color” Sydney Eddison brings her exquisite sense of color to container gardening. Eddison shows how to use containers to punctuate a garden, create garden rooms, or invigorate a tired area. Key to her approach is her sense of texture, color and scale.

Is your present financial course producing the results you want? If you answered no, you are not alone.

Why not consider an alternative approach? This seminar teaches practical, powerful and proven strategies that will allow you to take complete control of your finances, once and for all; eliminate all your consumer debt - credit cards, car loans, etc - in just 1 - 4 years; then eliminate your 30 year mortgage in another 3 - 5 years; save more than $100,000 in scheduled interest payments; and accumulate savings at the same time!
