Is your annual report or newsletter effective enough? What's its true "value" to your organization? Can you meet the budget and also meet the needs of donors, board and staff? How can you ensure you are getting enough bang for your buck?
This month's luncheon looks at these questions, with the help of a
group of panelists that represent all sides of this issue - the non-profit
organization, the public relations agency and the printer. Panelists
are:
-Mary Lewis, Resource Development Director, School Sisters of Notre
Dame, who brings more than 20 years non-profit experience and has seen
significant changes in annual reports and newsletters through the years.
-Mallory Rusch, Associate Development Director, Center for Women in
Transition, who as a relatively new non-profit professional wants to
move her organization into making better use of the technological advances
available for annual reports and newsletters, but worries that her constituency
isn't yet ready.
-Mistie Thompson, senior counselor, Standing Partnership, who in her
nine years with the firm has worked with numerous St. Louis-area non-profits
to develop annual reports that match their clients' needs.
-Laura Jones, vice president, Messenger Printing, who brings more than
20 years experience in the printing industry, and has counseled many
non-profits on how to make their newsletters and other publications
more cost-effective without sacrificing quality.
