List Co-Op Thinking Sessions - March 14

Join us for our List Co-Op Thinking Sessions. In partnership with TRG Arts we are offering a variety of topics this year in a free, one-day mini conference format to provide you and your co-workers with strategic tips and techniques on how to get the most out of the List Co-Op program and to improve your direct marketing strategies.  The sessions are optional and you may attend as many as you like. You are encouraged to bring other users or potentials users from your organization with you to these sessions. You will be able to identify which sessions you are interested in attending at the time of registration. You must be on the Board or Staff of a Cultural Alliance Member Organization to attend this workshop.
