MMC 2007 - Scholarships for Volunteers

MMC 2007 Scholarships
Making Media Connections 2007 will be held in Chicago on June 13-14. This conference connects non-profit communicators and journalists. Features include:

Training: the conference increases non-profit communicators’ skills and
understanding of the news process, allowing them to better access the media in
ways that are effective;
Sourcing: the conference provides journalists with leads and sources among
a group that tends to receive ‘spot’ coverage rather than more focused and
influential treatment, and
Relationship-building: the conference builds relationships between
non-profit and news outlet personnel.

Click here for a view of the whole conference agenda. This would be a wonderful opportunity for anyone interested in learning how to communicate with the press about the Harambee neighborhood. Scholarships for volunteers and students (only $30 per day) are available. If you are a Harambee volunteer who is interested in attending, and would be willing to share what you've learned with others after you return, please contact Kathryn Berger by email or at 414.273.1815.
