Regional nonprofit organizations will learn to map a road to clarity at the College of Southern Maryland’s (CSM) 10th Annual Nonprofit Institute (NPI) Conference Feb. 20. Representatives from the region’s nonprofit organizations are invited to attend this event that is designed to spark ideas of how organizations can derive greater values from their resources. Registration opens today, Jan. 15.
Maggy Sterner
Keynote Speaker Maggy Sterner is a branding coach for entrepreneurs, small businesses and nonprofits. She will talk with attendees about how to brand nonprofit organizations with messages that work online and out loud. Sterner will share how laser clarity about an organization’s mission serves as a magnet to target audiences. Attendees will learn to communicate messages with confidence.
The 10th Annual Nonprofit Institute Conference is designed for nonprofit board members, chief executives, staff, sponsors, volunteers, community and business leaders, young professionals and consultants committed to strengthening nonprofit organizations and the communities they serve.
This year’s breakout sessions focus on leadership, strategic planning, management, fundraising and communication. Fogarty also said the well-liked “Meet the Media” session, a panel discussion with members of local print, broadcast and online media, is back by popular demand this year. Participants will learn how to bring their organization’s news, events and accomplishments to the attention of media outlets in Southern Maryland.
