Through the use of collaborative activities and workshops, the Ayres Team helped 19 Main Street organizations in Colorado assess their current communication strategies, develop visual and verbal collateral, and identify local success stories. In this two-part
session you will learn about various communication tools and the skills needed to effectively communicate your impact to various target audiences, which is essential when recruiting new volunteers and donors, courting new business owners, partnering with investors,
and cultivating sponsors. Then, you will be guided through a workshop on the second day to begin to develop your own messaging strategy. <o:p></o:p></p>
