*Insert Rocky theme music here*
Campaign season is just around the corner. You want to be ready for the big dance. Preparation is key to success. Training will ensure you are ready. Your team (and community) are depending on you!
But really, preparation is pretty awesome. And these trainings and mini trainings are tailored to helping get you prepared to run a great campaign (dancing is not required).
Join our Resource Development team, other ECCs, and some special guests to learn more about your role and how to run a successful workplace campaign!
All Trainings will be held in person at United Way of Cass-Clay. We are offering ECC Training on August 4 and ECC Mini Sessions the weeks of August 8 and 15. Create your own training experience below!
Registration will close on August 2 at 5 p.m. Have questions? Please reach out to me, Bella, at blien@unitedwaycassclay.org.
Don’t forget – attending ECC Training is also a nomination requirement to be eligible for our annual list of the United Way Top 25 Engaged Workplaces.
