Build Your Bandwidth Communications Webinar Series
The Build Your Bandwidth webinar series has been developed for Hartford Foundation grantees who are interested in honing and strengthening their communications skills. The webinars—with topics chosen by grantees through a survey process—offer a variety of opportunities for grantees to learn from presenters and colleagues, practice skills using their own work as examples, and move ahead to more advanced communications challenges. We hope that you'll take advantage of these free, 75-minute webinars.
