With all the tough Winter weather we’ve had, I hope the next meeting of Public Policy Communicators NYC scheduled for Wednesday, March 24 will find us enjoying a sunny and warm Spring day. Regardless, I hope you can join us for the next topic:
Website Impact Without Redesign – How can you introduce functional elements that drive traffic to your website and increase audience interaction without an expensive, time-consuming redesign?
We’ll be going beyond obvious enhancements like video, links to social media presences and recordings of webinars, and think creatively about functionality that enhances the unique mission of each of our organizations.
We have a great discussion leader who will help kick our thinking into high gear:
Jai Sen is a digital communications consultant with deep experience in interactive media, website and application development, and user experience design. He has led a wide variety of projects in the commercial and nonprofit sectors, including the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation site redesign, and has most recently been an integral part of the team that relaunched the Atlantic Philanthropies website. He is currently working on the digital presence for the D5 coalition, an organization formed by grantmakers promoting diversity in philanthropy.
Here are the specifics on the next PPC-NYC meeting:
