Because We’re Worth It: Communicating Your EDO’s Value

After all your hard work, do you ever feel your EDO does not get the recognition and support it deserves? It might be because you are not effectively communicating your value to internal stakeholders, including taxpayers and other community funders, elected officials, and other vested interests. This workshop will arm you with practical how-to advice to refine and update your messaging so your community stays in the spotlight.

What you will learn:

– Proven methods for communicating the value of your EDO’s accomplishments
– Tailoring messages to your diverse audiences and stakeholders
– Best practices and examples of how to communicate an EDO’s performance metric
