Event Calendar

Please join us for our April Chapter Meeting!  We will be gathering for a virtual learning experience this month.

The April meeting speaker will be Carl Prichard

Topic: The Fine Art of Story-Telling

This hour looks at why story telling is among the most effective means to communicate messages and the tricks and techniques associated with sharing a good story.  The emphasis is on how to use stories to get across complex concepts and share detailed information in ways that others can remember and in ways that open the door for greater understanding.  Carl will also examine the “echo effect” associated with effective story sharing.
