About the Coffee Chat

Extending An Open Invitation to Engage
Engagement is a two-way street. Creating a feedback loop that supports the invitation to engage with your current audience while cultivating new stakeholders is key. Have you really invited the community in? What does a genuine invitation look like, and how often should we extend this invitation to welcome people from all walks of life into our spaces? Let's discuss the ways we can build positive relationships with our community, invite them to engage with us, and support the missions of our organizations long term.
