60 Nonprofits Attended Our Recent “Meet Your Press” Panel Discussion on March 21st — and Left With Some Great Ideas

Last year’s Meet Your Press event was so successful that we offered another one this year.  On Wednesday, March 21, 2018  60 nonprofits gathered at the Winnetka Community House for a continental breakfast buffet and a robust panel discussion with members of local media outlets.

For nonprofits looking to increase the reach and impact of their media exposure, this was a can’t-miss opportunity to talk directly to members of the local press —  and to share ideas with fellow nonprofits who are all facing the same challenges of gaining visibility and awareness of their mission.

Up next?  “Managing Volunteers” and “Successful Fundraising Strategies”.  Watch this website for dates and more details.
