Development and communications outreach often employ similar strategies to reach a similar goal—connecting with a specific audience. In some larger nonprofits, however, there is little coordination between the two while in some smaller nonprofits a single person is expected to do both, presenting a series of challenges. This panel will explore new ways to reach out to targeted audiences useful to both communications and development as well as better ways to integrate the two. Topics include:
* How to tailor your basic message for different audiences
* Integrating development and communications outreach
* Turning fundraising events into news events
* Using social media in development and communications campaigns
* Transforming annual reports from overgrown yearbooks to strategic outreach tools
* Wearing two hats without losing your head: challenges to those directing both communications and development
