Book
Discussion:
Brandraising
by Linda R. Brown
Thursday, August 19,
7:00 p.m.
3745 Garfield Street, Lincoln
I first puzzled over the term "branding" during
Wachiska's Vision Quest, the Board strategic planning process
facilitated by Rick Carter last winter.
I ordered the 2010
book, Brandraising, by Sarah Durham when I learned that the
book answered questions of how nonprofits raise visibility
and money through smart communications.
After reading this
book, I believe it is a must read for every leader of a nonprofit
organization.
Call or email me if you want
to participate in a discussion of this book on Thursday,
August 19, at 7:00 p.m. at my home, 3745 Garfield Street
in Lincoln. Contact me at 489-2381; lindar1brown@gmail.com
