This one-day training is designed for those who are working to build public awareness and visibility in order to advance their national and community service program goals.  The Communicators Institute was created by Campaign Consultation to help national service programs hone their media skills, liven up their publications, and demonstrate impact.

Working with issue experts and peers, you will have the opportunity to explore such topics as:

·    Telling Your Story: Art and Science of Powerful Presentations

·    Web Site & Social Networking

·    Material Makeover & Branding

·    Overcoming Obstacles

·    Crafting Your Communications Action Plan

·    Shaping Your Story So It's Newsworthy
