Everyone from business owners to nonprofit staff and their board members will have something to take away from this presentation.
Creative Marketing on a Nonprofit Budget
In this presentation we’ll answer two of the biggest questions organizations have to answer to be successful: Where and how do we get money for marketing, and what do we do with it once we get it? Working together with Brian and other attendees, you’ll find unique solutions to these questions and come away with techniques that will sustain your organization for years to come.

Thank you for coming to speak. I have never thought of myself as 'leadership material' but I believe that it was very beneficial to me in rethinking about that! Thanks again!
