Nonprofit Events
Meet the Media - February
Members of local media organizations give and hear one-minute pitches from local nonprofit representatives. Attendees present for one-minute on the value of their nonprofit by sharing a story, idea, purpose, event or success related to their organization (one pitch per nonprofit). Media panel representatives provide feedback on each pitch and meet with nonprofit representatives in small groups for more in-depth questions and conversation.
