10:30am-11:20am	CONCURRENT SESSIONS 2 Business & Liberal Arts Center Room B-819: The Message, The Process, and Analyzing Results: Synchronizing Efforts to Improve Retention Nonprofits and educational institutions are aware that marketing is important. Thousands of dollars are spent on materials, radio and TV ads, and mailings, yet the message is not synchronized with the organization’s intake process, mission, or desired outcome. As a result, what begins as a flashy, glossy presentation becomes a watered-down and unclear message. In this session, we will debunk the myth of the “unlimited marketing budget” as the only way to improve recruitment and retention. We will also explore how an internal and external communication plan (the message, the intake process, and analyzing results) can offer a much greater return. -Keyla E. Kirton, Coordinator of Recruitment, Research & Development at the Long Island Educational Opportunity Center Keyla E. Kirton is an organizational innovation/change professional with a focus on marketing, promotions, and strategic planning. Her expertise is in helping government programs make practical changes that improve their outcomes and transform their organizational culture positively.
