Marketing and Communications in the Nonprofit World

Sponsored by Rabbit Run Community Arts Association

Learn how non-profit communicators market multiple events and services with lean staffs and slim budgets, while endlessly reaching out to constituents to donate resources and attend events.

Nick Carrabine, Director of Marketing and Communications for the Lake County United Way, will share how important the United Way is within our county and what he does as a non-profit marketing communications professional to stretch his budget and resources to achieve the organization’s goals. He and his staff just wrapped up three of United Way’s most critical events of the year – the Super Raffle, Celebrity Server and the Annual meeting -- all happening within the same month.

Nick will share how he simultaneously manages the whirlwind of activity while keeping his volunteer staff fresh, his messages organized and his efforts focused on bigger goals: attracting donations and increasing community involvement.

Nick joined the United Way staff in 2011 following four years as a reporter at The News-Herald. Nick coordinates events, secures donations, oversees volunteers, manages sponsorships, partners with local companies, handles media relations and assists with all marketing materials for campaigns and events.

Make reservations for this informative luncheon by June 10 here. Guests are always welcome. The cost is $15 for members and $20 for non-members. For additional information, please visit the programs page or call Diana Lewis at 440-255-8932. Dino's Restaurant is located at 4145 SR 306, Willoughby, Ohio. Lunch meetings are held from 11:30 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. and include networking and a half-hour program.
