See what a past participant had to say:

 

"This course was absolutely fabulous. The enthusiasm of all the speakers for their topics made me feel as if I could successfully tackle the insurmountable mountain that is Marketing & Outreach, even as someone with limited experience. Within days of learning about successful marketing tips, I was able to utilize them for my own event planning. It's gratifying to see something I learned in a workshop was so quickly and easily put into my own practice!" -
