  • Intersessions: Why Nonprofits Have to Think About Marketing 8am to 10am @ Innovation Connector 1208 W. White River Blvd. Muncie, IN 47303

    A PANEL DISCUSSION WITH JENA ASHBY, C.S. HENDERSHOT, SUZANNE CLEM, AND CARLY ACREE-KING

    ABOUT THE SESSION

    Every day, nonprofits pour their hearts into work that changes lives—yet too often, that impact goes overlooked. The reality is that donors, volunteers, and community partners have a choice in where they invest their time and dollars, and the organizations that communicate their value clearly are the ones that earn that investment. Marketing should not be seen as a distraction from the mission. It's what gets the mission funded, staffed, and noticed. Join us on September 22 from 8-10 AM at the Innovation Connector for "Why Nonprofits Have to Think About Marketing," a panel discussion for nonprofit leaders who want to learn how to make their case to the people who can help them grow.
