Messaging matters! And now more than ever, coalitions must be equipped to clearly and confidently communicate their impact. Whether you're reaching out to the press, engaging funders, or mobilizing your community, strong messaging is essential to gaining support and driving change.

Join us virtually for the first SPCA meeting of the year as we dive into the topic of effective communication. This interactive training is designed to help coalition leaders sharpen their messaging for key audiences. You'll learn best practices, explore real-world examples, and gain tools to make your coalition's work stand out.
This meeting is also a valuable opportunity to connect with fellow coalition leaders, share insights, spark new ideas, and strengthen partnerships. This is a SPCA members-only event you won’t want to miss. Come ready to connect, collaborate, and elevate your coalition’s message.
