Hi Nora,

With summer break behind us, we are so excited to kick off the 2024-2025 school year with you, our CONNECT Cohort! This group brings together individuals who are responsible for marketing, communications and/or enrollment at Colorado charter schools. Our goal is an active networking and learning community with the opportunity to connect monthly while gaining insight into timely topics and best practices. 

Whether you're looking to develop yourself or your team, the CONNECT Cohort offers the opportunity for peer-to-peer insight, problem-solving, and knowledge sharing with some of today’s most respected industry leaders.

If you received this email but communications isn’t your role, please forward to the applicable staff member at your school. If you know of anyone who may be interested in joining our Cohort, please connect them with us. It’s free!

New to the group and wondering how to get started? Here are three steps you can take today:

1. Join Our Online Community. To access our online community register for or log in to the League's website. Once logged in, navigate to My Groups > CONNECT Cohort and click “Join Group” (if not already joined). There, you’ll find our list of meetings, topics and Zoom links under the “Meetings” tab. We encourage you to create a profile, explore the resource library and post questions for the group as needed.
2. Save the Dates. We are hosting a series of monthly events for communications and enrollment staff on a variety of topics in 2024-25 including social media, grant writing, community partnerships and so much more. These are offered virtually with the exception of two in-person events at the Leadership Summit and Annual Conference. View our full list of CONNECT meetings PLUS join us in person at our FREE Leadership Summit convening.
3. Refer a Friend. Our monthly newsletter will summarize previous events, spotlight upcoming events, and share news and resources relevant to the communications and marketing sphere. If you are receiving this email, you are already on our mailing list. To add a colleague to our list, please email [email protected].

Sept. 12 Lunch & Learn: Writing for Clarity and Precision
Our first CONNECT meeting of the year is scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 12, from 12 to 1 PM. Please save the date and set yourself up for success in the year ahead as we hear from Victoria Criado, Advisor at PLT Strategies Group about polishing the foundation of all good communications — writing!

As a communication leader at a public charter school, you may not always think about yourself as a public writer, but that's exactly what you are. Tapping into best practices for clear and honest writing, Victoria will share tips to increase the effectiveness of your various written communications, including op-eds, press releases, media statements, social media, website copy and fact sheets. 

We look forward to reconnecting with many of you this year while connecting with those new to the group. We hope to see you all at our virtual Lunch & Learn in September and if you have any questions in the meantime, please email [email protected].

Warm Regards,

The League in partnership with Hive Digital Minds
