[Mdabs] Fwd: Workshop: Create an Advertising Directory – NABS Membership Committee

[Chris Nusbaum]

All,

Please see below for a very interesting workshop presented by the Connecticut students division. I believe this would be a beneficial seminar to attend, especially for those of us who are interested in spreading the word about our division and it's events/programs. If you are considering being a part of our public relations committee, I would strongly encourage you to attend this call if you are able. Connecticut has come up with a great idea and I think it would be in our best interest to profit from it. For all information please see Justin's email below. I hope to see many of you on this call — I will definitely be there.

Yours in Federationism,

Chris Nusbaum, Secretary
Maryland Association of Blind Students

> So, we have an idea.  We’re putting on a student seminar, a student division social, or a fun activity at the state convention.  We know how to run it, who will speak, what kind of food we want, but now…how do we get people to attend?  Who do we invite?  How do we spread the word?
> 
> We once struggled with these questions in the North Carolina Association of Blind Students, and we devised a solution: create an advertising directory for our state.  With four people working on the project for only about two months, we realized that it was, in fact, possible.
> 
> The system is simple. A division can create a directory of disability contacts at all universities, community colleges, and trade schools in its state.  As soon as we had organized this directory, advertising our events became much simpler.  We did it all in Microsoft Excel, too.
> 
> The NABS Membership Committee will be hosting a series of conference call workshops, which I will lead, where we will explain and discuss how to organize and best use an advertising directory for student division events in your state.
> 
> The first of these conference call workshops will be held:
> 
> Monday, January 20
> 9:00 PM eastern
> Dial (605) 475-6700
> Enter access code 7869673
> 
> We will announce further advertising directory workshops soon.  I look forward to talking with many on Monday.  If you have any questions, please email me directly at <justin.salisbury at earthlink.net>.
