Dear Words That Work subscribers,

If you work for a nonprofit organization in the San Francisco Bay Area, this e-mail is for you.

In our last issue we gave you the basics on our upcoming workshop, "Recharge Your Publications: A Marketing Clinic"; now we have full details. 

This hands-on, daylong clinic will help marketing communications directors, executive directors, and development directors evaluate their Web sites, newsletters, or other publications and develop a communications strategy that aids fundraising, gets members more engaged, and creates positive public impressions.

We'll answer such questions as: Does your communications strategy support your organization as effectively as possible? Do your publications enhance outreach, fundraising, and public relations initiatives? Do they further your mission and reflect your organization's identity?

To get the most out of the workshop, participants will complete a communications evaluation and submit it by January 27, along with publication samples. These evaluations and samples will guide critique and strategy sessions. You can get the form at http://www.realedit.com/articles.html.

Please pass this information along to colleagues, partners, or others you think would be interested. And don't hesitate to call us if you have questions.

Here are the details:
