Inspired by the power of storytelling, attendees had the opportunity to hear from MELANIE SPRING, keynote and author of Branded Confidence; HENRY BERMAN, CEO of Exponent Philanthropy; and GABE COHEN of GuideStar on their perspective of the importance of telling stories.
Melanie Spring challenged attendees to get out of their comfort zones and rock their pitch! They came away with the ability to use numbers to tell stories in a succinct, simple, and manageable way. Henry Berman shared his unique perspective of storytelling through the lense of both a funder and a grantee in the nonprofit community. Gabe Cohen reviewed how information in 990s and IRS documents can be leveraged to support effective storytelling. For the first time, a limited number of registrants had the unique opportunity to get a free professional headshot to better tell their story online and in print. Attendees came away with a variety of tips and resources to tell their stories and create the most impact.
