Communicating for Good
***UPDATE July 20th***
While the in-person experience at Communicating for Good was great, we had some technical issues with the livestream. We are working to merge the best video, audio and slides and will have it all available on our website next week. Thanks for your patience!
***UPDATE***
We will be live streaming the speaker portion of the event and a
recording will be available to view shortly after. To view the live stream go here
Meyer
Memorial Trust, NTEN and PAGATIM are joining forces to offer up
resources and tools that can help nonprofit organizations make the most
of online opportunities for reaching audiences. You might well be amazed
at the wealth of resources available locally that can help you map out a
communications plan and tell your stories like you've never done
before. This gathering will feature keynote presentations by Amy Sample
Ward, currently at NTEN and formerly NetSquared, and Laura Mansfield,
Co-Founder and Chief Visionary Officer at PAGATIM. In addition to these great speakers,
we'll have a resource fair where you can learn about related services
and products and meet the folks offering them.
8:30 to noon
Meyer Memorial Trust is covering nearly all the cost of the event, but we are charging a nominal $5 registration fee to cover the cost of refreshments. [In addition, we've had problems in past events with so many folks enthusiastically signing up as soon as an event is announced that all spaces are taken, we have to turn people away, but then a sizable enough number of people don't show up and seats end up being wasted. Nothing we've tried has worked in the past, this is our next experiment :-) ]
Laura Mansfield has an award winning background in broadcast journalism, documentary filmmaking, non-profit management, and social entrepreneurship. Laura and her aura is a power to be reckoned with as her ability to connect with people and capture their story is like no other. She is determined that ‘brave authentic stories will change the world’.
Amy Sample Ward is NTEN's membership director, blogger, facilitator and trainer having worked with groups and spoken at events in the US, UK and around the world. In 2009, she co-authored Social by Social, a handbook in using social technologies for social impact, and has contributed to various other publications about social media. She is a conversation-starter and thought-leader, writing about strategic uses of new technologies for communities and organizations on her blog and the Stanford Social Innovation Review. Previously, she served as Community Development Manager for a program area at TechSoup Global called Community-Driven Innovation, where, among other things, she managed the NetSquared program.

Communicating for Good Event
This event sounds like a great opportunity to learn more about how to access the tools available for helping you tell your story more effectively. During the GivingUSA 2012 webinar last week, more than one panelist cited the need for organizations to tell their stories in a more effective way to reach donors. With so many tools becoming available, we still need to focus on the story telling whether connecting with individuals or institutional funders (who are, by all accounts, comprised of individuals.)

Thanks to all of you for putting together this opportunity. I hope to learn what other organizations have found to be most useful.
