REGISTER NOW FOR HANO'S MAY 16 CONFERENCE

Craft strategic
messages that
inspire engagement
and support

Building public awareness and support of the nonprofit sector is a top priority across America.

Here in Hawaii, recent events have made it increasingly important for the charitable sector to remind the community what nonprofits contribute to the quality of life – why they need and deserve community support.

That's why the theme of the 2008 HANO Conference is strategic storytelling. We'll explore why storytelling is so important, how to select and craft your messages, and the tools and resources to help you get your message to your constituents and supporters.
