Does your PAC program need an overhaul? More organizations are successfully rebranding and relaunching their PACs to better engage existing donors as well as attract prospective members. During this workshop, we’ll explore where to start when either launching a PAC or overhauling an existing program’s operations and activities. Hear from practitioners that have rebranded their logo, materials, messaging and more to reinvigorate their PACs.

This program is eligible for 2 PAC Specialization credits toward the Certificate in PAC & Grassroots Management and 2 Elective credits toward the Certificate in Public Affairs Management.
