Webinar
Webinar Series: How to Get Campaign-Ready: Your Roadmap to Multichannel Success
When: May 1, 8, and 15, from 2:00-3:00 p.m. (EST)
Where: Anywhere/the internet
Successful “blockbuster” campaigns almost never happen without a strong foundation in place, and this three-part webinar series, led by Strategists Rachel Hope Allison and Meghan Teich, is all about giving you what you need to build that foundation and kick your campaign program into high gear. They’ll share best practices and some inspiration for your next campaign, through stories of what other nonprofits have done or are doing today.

Workshop
Bagels at Big Duck: Get to know your audience
When: May 23 from 9:00-11:00 a.m. (EST)
Where: Big Duck’s office in Brooklyn
In the hustle and bustle of nonprofit life, it’s easy to get so caught up in thinking about the messages we need to share that we forget about what our supporters actually want to hear. Sound familiar? Join Elizabeth Ricca, Big Duck’s Director of Strategy, for a workshop on how to develop smart communications with your audience in mind.
Space is limited, so sign up today.
Conferences
Engaging Customers and Community Through Social Technology
When: May 7–8
Where: Portland, Oregon
Hosted by: NeighborWorks America
If you’re headed to Portland for NeighborWorks America’s SocialTech Symposium (and you definitely should be!), make sure you say hi to Farra, who’s Oregon-bound to lead various workshops and trainings throughout the conference. She’ll be taking on a range of social technology-related topics, like whether or not you should rethink your website, social fundraising, the future of social technology—and how it fits into your organization.
