NICVA's members get a training day on communications from our resident gurus.
What are the principles of good communication?
Find out on Wednesday, 11 October 2006.
Learn how to communicate sharply and hit the right media targets. These sessions offer practical tips on how to approach the press/media, how to put together a newsletter, both electronic and hardcopy, and how to write for the web.
The sessions will look at style and content, attracting and keeping an audience, working with mailing lists and there will be an opportunity to try out some skills for yourself.
