Branding Facts of Life: The logo just doesn't matter
Monday, March 23
9:00 am - 12:00 pm
"Brand is the difference between a cup of coffee and a cup of Starbucks"
You (and your nonprofit) have a different "brand" for everyone you work with: clients, donors, community leaders, funders, etc. Even your staff and board members have assigned a "brand" to the organization, and they aren't necessarily the same.
We'll ask (and answer) three questions at this workshop:
- What is a brand, after all?
- What do you think is your organization's brand for your key constituencies, and is that the one you want them to see?
- How do you get to the brand you want?
We'll discuss the elements of branding, how your audiences differ in their perceptions (and why that matters), the more authentic but less discussed techniques of branding, and some of the formal aspects of branding.
Please sign up early to receive short thought provoking articles on branding that will be discussed at the workshop.
Presenter: Rick Schwartz (www.SchwartzTalk.com) has worked closely with charitable people, foundations and nonprofits for 40 years.

Book Discussion
- The Justice Imperative
Monday, March 23
5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
A dedicated group of professionals from the fields of law, academia, business, religion and corrections took a unique approach to the problem of mass incarceration in Connecticut and the United States. They wrote a book together. And they want to share their findings with you.
Hear from one of the authors how this process took place, what concerns
you should have as a citizen and taxpayer. Where is your money going?
What is it doing? Are communities safer? Are we being smart on crime
or simply paying lipservice to being "tough" on crime? Take this opportunity
to engage in a conversation about one of the most important civil rights issues
of our time in the 21st century.
