Online Practitioner Workshop

Managing Your Media Campaign for Microenterprise Development

Tuesday, September 13, 2005, 10:00am—11:30am PDT



The media provides many opportunities to build public support for microenterprise development. It's important for microenterprise practitioners to understand how to develop the message, prepare media materials, host media briefings, write op-ed articles, and interview with the media.

Join Kim Pate and Jerome Uher of CFED as they provide practitioners with their recommendations for a successful media campaign to gain public support for microenterprise development. This web-based teleworkshop will provide an overview of the key points to consider when working with the media, samples of successful media efforts, and a starter tool kit for your own campaign.

California microenterprise practitioners can use this workshop to help prepare for California Microenterprise Development Month. Joining the presenters will be representatives from Townsend Public Affairs, Inc. who will speak on how to tie media management with advocacy efforts.


The workshop will cover:

· Cultivating and maintaining good relationships with the media;
· Developing consistent messages that inspire action and
   support for microenterprise;
· Garnering broad public awareness of microenterprise development
   through the effective use of client success stories; and
· Promoting significant and pervasive investment in microenterprise
   as an anti-poverty and/or economic development strategy.

Who: Kim Pate, Director of Field Development, and Jerome Uher,
Communications Director, both of Corporation for Enterprise Development (CFED).
