Hear what people said about MARCOM 2011:
As a fundraiser, I found that the MARCOM forum provided me with innovative ideas regarding new ways to reach out to donors and alumni.

I met people in person that I have only previously interacted with in a social media context. I increased my local followers/followings substantially on Twitter, and added several connections on Linkedin because of my involvement at MARCOM.

It was wonderful to see our new Convention Centre and to finally put faces to many of the names I’ve heard around town. I made some excellent contacts and expect to follow up with a number of folks to exchange ideas.

As charities become more and more strategic, it will become increasingly important to focus all efforts in these areas to help distinguish our causes and raise as much positive awareness and support within the charitable sector.
