Is This Thing On?

I’m excited about my opportunity to speak at the 19th Annual Philanthropy Midwest Conference Oct. 17 in Kansas City. This conference is the Midwest’s largest gathering of nonprofit organizations.

I’ll be presenting a workshop from 3:30 to 4:45 p.m. titled The Media: Opportunity Has a Secret Knock. My workshop walks participants through an audio-video presentation that will help develop key messages and package the organization’s story to get the media’s attention, respond effectively in tough interviews and generate buzz through social media.

I’m told there are 60-plus signed up. This should be fun!

Later next week I will be on a crisis communication panel for the National Educational Telecommunications Association conference. Crisis communication is a favorite topic of mine–I look forward to hearing what’s going on with NETA members in the crisis com arena and offering my thoughts.
