On January 10 at 8:30 PM Eastern, AlphaComm Strategies is hosting a telephone workshop on how to tell your story to the community at large. This workshop is a part of our first special project, Operation Checkmate. For our purposes, "telling your story" goes beyond repeating the NFB's mission statement. A good narrative unites your membership, attracts new recruits, solidifies your partnerships, and diversifies your funding prospects. Learn how to: * take stock of your existing strengths and weaknesses; * evaluate what you can offer and how it stacks up to competing organizations; * examine the community in which you operate; * energize your core base of workers; * use their talents to cultivate strong talking points; and * use this communication to generate compelling events, grant proposals and public awareness campaigns. Your registration is required to generate a roster of participants for the workshop. The most effective presentations actively engage individual audience members, and you should expect to be randomly called upon to help explore real world, concrete examples. Of the people who register, one organization will be chosen with permission to serve as a case study for the discussion. We will not shine a spotlight on the organization. Rather, we will use it as a common reference point on which to leverage some of our analysis. After the call, confirmed attendees will receive an informative packet of resources with more information on how to jumpstart some of the ideas discussed at the meeting. Note: This is not an informal social call. Participants should come prepared to discuss the serious business of ensuring the lasting momentum of your specific group and the vitality of the NFB as a whole. Only the most dedicated members are welcomed, and to that end, we are intentionally not offering a future recording of the conversation. Come prepared to take copious notes. If you cannot attend yourself, please feel free to ask someone to register and participate on your chapter, affiliate or division's behalf using the link below. It's not about standing out from the competition. It's about eliminating it. It's not about hoping for a streak of success. It's about creating it, and if you are fully committed to transforming your organization from good to great, your colleagues will await your presence at a call you absolutely cannot miss. Don't let the introductory nature of this call fool you. For us, it is the beginning of a longer effort to let people know that the various groups of the NFB have something to offer, and they will be heard!
