Storytelling - From Strategy to Delivery

Presented by Eileen Sweeney and David Capece

March 15, 2022 AFP Tampa Bay Meeting

Non-profits often have a difficult time in telling their stories.  It can be very costly, not within their small budgets, and may not have access to resources which have the expertise to create videos or other creatives.  With this in mind, Eileen and David will be sharing different strategies on effective story telling.
