PCL INSIDER: News from the
Capitol
The PCL Insider staff has just returned
from the winter holidays and we're getting ready for a very busy
new year. Here are some upcoming events you'll want to make sure
to write down in your 2008 calendars.
ONE WEEK LEFT: LEARN HOW TO MESSAGE AND
MARKET YOUR ORG AT THE PCL ENVIRONMENTAL SYMPOSIUM!
There are only seven days left before the annual
PCL
Environmental Legislative Symposium on Saturday, January 12,
2008 at the Sacramento Convention Center.
This year, we've added two "How To" sessions that
will help your organization get the word out about its
environmental accomplishments and upcoming activities:
For those of you on a budget or with limited
computer skills, have no fear -- Bobbi Russell
(Green Media Toolshed) and Karen Cotton
(Mountain Lion Foundation) will help you bring your marketing
and communication skills into the 21st century with their
session "How To...Utilize New Technologies for Marketing."
If you're feeling burnt out by tales of
environmental disasters, it's time to revitalize your view of
messaging and transform the language and strategies you use to
motivate others. Join Reinette Senum
(PowerUp-NC) for "How To...Change the Way You Change the World."
We hope we've inspired you enough to register
for the PCL Symposium where you can gain these critical skills.
See you in Sacramento!
