In addition to our chapter events, we will host several socials, deep dives, and fireside chats throughout the year, capitalizing on the remarkable talent we have within our chapter.
We hope to see you soon.

Directions
When there’s so much competition for time, attention, and resources, getting the right people to see you as right for them—quickly—is critical. But what do you do when all your reasons for being “right” aren’t right for those you’re talking to? In this practical and energizing keynote, 25-year message strategist and nonprofit veteran Tamsen Webster will show you how to get people invested (literally and figuratively!) in all you have to offer, starting with the easiest elements for your audience to identify with: the principles that provide common ground for even the most uncommon ideas. The result? You’ll be able to summarize your strategies in a sentence and your manifesto in a minute.
Before embarking on her journey as a speaker, she worked as a university admissions officer, corporate trainer, and broadcaster. She is a mother of teenagers, wife of a “hottie engineer,” and an average golfer.
