Meet the Media
Wednesday, February 14, 2024
9:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Are you a representative of a local nonprofit interested in connecting with the local media? Join us for the Nonprofit Alliance of Monroe County’s 15th Annual Meet the Media roundtable event. Members of local media will give and hear one-minute pitches from local nonprofit representatives. Come prepared to present for one minute on the value of your nonprofit by sharing a story, idea, purpose, event, or success related to your nonprofit organization (only one pitch per nonprofit). Media panel representatives will provide feedback on each pitch and meet with nonprofit representatives in small groups for more in-depth questions and conversation. Age 18 and up. Please register. Participation is limited to 35 nonprofit representatives.
