Accelerated Visions

?? Learning, Growing, and Engaging! ?? This morning, we were ??lucky?? enough to attend a Loudoun Chamber NPI Workshop - Beyond the Ask: Building Year-Round Engagement on Social Media, led by Brian Tinsman of POUNCE Solutions. This workshop was packed with valuable insights on social media strategies to keep your audience engaged beyond fundraising and the "ask." A huge thank you to the Community Foundation for Loudoun and Northern Fauquier Counties for hosting this fantastic event! We also had the opportunity to connect with inspiring nonprofit leaders, including Kim Read Curran with Dulles South Soup Kitchen, Jordan E.P. Smith with Tree of Life Ministries, and Laura Smith with Loudoun Therapeutic Riding. Great conversations and shared ideas made for an impactful morning! Excited to put these strategies into action and continue strengthening our digital presence! ???
