Nonprofit leaders often struggle to articulate a clear and compelling message about their organization and its work; getting hung up in lingo and long explanations that are confusing to the general public. Plus, many nonprofit leaders are uncomfortable with public speaking. Join us for a session on how to introduce your organization and the importance of your work verbally to others in a convincing, clear and concise manner. You'll have the opportunity to practice.
