It’s Not About You

A Highlight from the upcoming NAGC Communications School.

The foundation of any good communication is a clear message that
resonates with the target audience. But if a message is not clear, the story
the media tells may not be the one you want to tell.

Don’t miss Jennifer
Miller, senior counselor of Rockford Gray LLC, as she explains why some
messages work and some don’t—and most importantly, how to fix them. You’ll
learn the three key characteristics of all good messages and how to develop
them. Jennifer will help you peel away layers to uncover the core of strong,
high-level, and engaging messages.

“It’s Not About
You: Creating A Message that Matters” will be held April 18 at 1:45 p.m.
at the 2013 NAGC Communications School, April 17-19, at the Pentagon City
Sheraton in Arlington, Va. Check out the complete agenda and register to attend
