“Leslie’s Marketing Magic was well received by our workshop attendees. The presentation was comprehensive without being overwhelming and pragmatic for nonprofits operating on shoestring budgets! Overwhelmingly, attendees reported walking away with low- to no-cost strategies that could be implemented immediately and said that the workshop gave them a better understanding of how to integrate marketing into their work instead of thinking of it as optional or an “add-on.” Leslie is a pro whose concern for the nonprofit community really comes through, and we’d welcome her back for public workshops anytime!”
