Communication matters. Organizations that do it well are stronger, smarter, and vastly more effective.
A social sector organization that excels at communicating has these 4 things working for it: BRAND + CULTURE + STRATEGY + ACTION

UPDATE: COMNET15 is sold out
Every year, The Communications Network conference sells out.
This year will be no different.
What seems to be different this year, is the timing of when that will occur: the pace of sales for ComNet15 has surpassed the expectations of the staff and the Network's Board.
As July draws to a close, more than 75% of our available seats are spoken for.
Put simply, if you're thinking about registering for the conference, we'd be honored to have you with us -- please sign up soon.
Unfortunately, every year we have to break the unpleasant news to friends and colleagues, "I'm sorry, we're sold out."
NOTICE: A firm known as Exhibition Housing Management has contacted a number of Network members offering to sell discount hotel rooms for #ComNet15.
Please be aware that they (and other third party firms) DO NOT represent The Communications Network or Loews Hotels.
Registration for #ComNet15 (along with the opportunity to book rooms at our preferred conference rate) opens June 1.
EHM has preyed on dozens of conferences and hundreds of conference goers and earned an "F" rating from the Better Business Bureau.
