Communicating Your Impact: Annual Reports and Your Digital Footprint | Webinar + VLC

September 08, 2026

This two-part webinar meets September 8 and September 9, 2026, from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm Central Time.

The webinar builds participants’ capacity to communicate organizational impact through clear, compelling, and data‑informed messaging. The webinar focuses on effective strategies for presenting meaningful data, success stories, and community outcomes through annual reports and digital platforms. Participants explore how to translate qualitative and quantitative information into narratives that strengthen transparency, deepen engagement, enhance credibility, and support funding opportunities. The session also examines how an organization’s digital presence shapes public perception and trust.

The follow‑up Virtual Learning Community (VLC) provides a collaborative space to apply and refine these communication practices. Participants review examples of impact reporting, analyze digital engagement strategies, and work together to strengthen messaging approaches that increase visibility, build trust, and deepen stakeholder connection. Through shared practice and discussion, they develop actionable strategies for communicating impact in ways that support resilient, community‑centered recovery ecosystems.

This webinar is sponsored by the Center for Addiction Recovery Support (CARS). For more information, visit their events calendar.
