Reframe & Reclaim: Communicating in Chaotic Times

Transform how you and your organization communicate, engage, and mobilize during this chaotic time. Get organized, build momentum, align your team, and increase impact!

Together, we will explore ...

• What should social sector leaders be doing right now to weather this storm?
• How can we navigate the chaos and build a more resilient, sustainable organization at the same time?
• What can uncertainty, volatility, and risk teach us about who we are?
• How should we show up for our stakeholders and supporters in times like this?
• What innovative solutions and strategies will help galvanize our stakeholders who are frozen by fear?

Join us every other Friday, starting October 3rd, for discussion, skill-building, and strategy development with your colleagues in the sector and the team at Hairpin.
