Dear Colleague,<br>
<br>
ProLiteracy is pleased to announce the third training module of the Dollar
General - ProLiteracy Performance Accountability Initiative:
Communicating Success to Stakeholders.<br>
<br>
This day-and-a-half training will help programs to:<br>
<br>
* build relationships with stakeholders<br>
* develop community partnerships<br>
* identify innovative ways to tell your program’s
success stories<br>
* coordinate teams to work on communication and marketing<br>
* diversify funding sources<br>
* develop concise and measurable funding proposals<br>
* prepare and use reports to demonstrate goals achieved<br>
<br>
The content of the training is drawn from promising practices by exemplary
literacy and adult education programs across the country.<br>
<br>
Programs that participate in the training will be asked to:<br>
<br>
· implement one or more of the
promising practices over the nine months following the training<br>
<br>
· share their challenges,
experiences, and successful strategies with other participants in the
initiative<br>
<br>
A stipend of $900.00 is available to support program participation in the
project. The stipend is meant to help defray travel and hotel expenses
and to help cover reporting requirements. (In an earlier email, the incorrect
stipend for programs participating for one year was listed; we apologize for
any confusion this may have caused.)<br>
<br>
