4 Way to get prepared for Amplify Austin Day 2025 |
Attend the Amplify Austin Day Workshop on Jan 15
Register now for the Amplify Austin Day Workshop on January 15, 2025. This is a half day, virtual learning event made up of hour-long sessions on topics that will help prepare you to have a successful campaign.
Anyone working on your Amplify Austin Day campaign is welcome to register. This includes volunteers, staff, and board members. You do not have to attend the entire training - simply register for the event and then log on and off as you’d like. If you can’t make it, we will record and post it on the Nonprofit Toolkit a few days after the
event.
