How do you communicate your organization’s story? Charts and graphics effectively share numbers, but each of those numbers is a person: a teammate doing amazing work, a community member being impacted by your programs, a dollar amount needed for crucial work. Narrative change is an important and crucial component of community work. In order for our organizations to advocate for themselves, they need to be able to control their stories, actively speaking on their own behalf. Storytelling conveys the impact of your work and gets to the heart of what you do. Join this session to learn about and discuss storytelling that engages and inspires your audience.
