Learning & Training

A warm welcome from INN's Chief Knowledge Officer Fran Scarlett.

Greetings, INN members!

As events are added through the year, you will receive notice on the INN listserv and in the weekly INNovation newsletter. You also can find upcoming events on the INN.org events calendar.

Our 2019 training focuses on audience development, nonprofit management including legal needs, and sustainability/revenue generation.

The training schedule slows down during the summer months to accommodate the weekly trainings for NewsMatch year-end fundraising.

Have a need or suggestion not reflected here? Email suggestions, requests and proposals to lead training to Fran@INN.org.

I look forward to seeing each and every one of you online or in person in 2019.

Thanks,
Fran Scarlett
INN's Chief Knowledge Officer

INN CONFERENCE DATES

INN Business Intensive, Sept. 11, New Orleans, LA (leading into ONA)

The training is customizable for organizations who are in early-stage podcast development to those who have been producing podcasts for a while and wonder if they are on the right track. A pre-training assessment will surface attendees’ areas of concern and need for skills development. Additionally, PRX will work with participants to develop a mentorship model where more experienced organizations can share wisdom with and support earlier-stage podcasters.

Registration info: This workshop will be designed based on your needs.
