PROFITABLE COMMUNICATIONS
FOR NON-PROFITS

IABC is pleased and proud to present our annual philanthropic event:
Profitable Communications for Non-Profits.

Professionals from nonprofit agencies throughout the greater Charlotte/Mecklenburg area glean new insights and information on a broad range of communications topics at this half-day workshop comprised of modules on topics of interest to communicators working on a daily basis to improve the quality of life for people throughout the greater Charlotte community.

The seminar, offered free to nonprofit agency employees, presents modules on topics ranging from ‘Marketing and Public Relations on a Shoestring’ to “Understand and Working with International Communities, to ‘Electronic Newsletters’ and ‘Improving Your Printed Communications’, to name a few.

The goal of this IABC/Charlotte signature event is to offer professional development, while building a local network of support between area non-profit and corporate communicators.

"This event provides priceless information to non-profit agencies and IABC/Charlotte sets an outstanding example of stepping up to offer a workshop designed around the unique needs of nonprofit agencies. We are extremely appreciative of their dedication to putting on this event every year at no charge to non-profits. It's a wonderful opportunity to gain insights from top notch professionals in a variety of communications fields,” says Larry Dagenhart, United Way Communications Manager.
