This is a three-day hands-on session to develop financial and business skills in communicating with stakeholders outside your organization, including investors, lenders, community and business leaders.  The course covers the communications role for public, private and non-profit organizations.  The focus is on delivering financial and strategic messages through written communication in a team setting.  We will work with a specific organization to define the key communications issues and wrap with a peer review.
