Currently the Institute uses a Web conference platform called Elluminate to provide this virtual experience to coalitions. The Institute's Webinar Series takes place five times a year with a session being held on the third Thursday of September, November, January, March and May.

Stories beyond Words: Using Photos and Video
 

We’ve all heard the adage that “a picture is worth a thousand words.” If that’s true, your coalition can speak volumes through photo- and video-sharing websites. This webinar will focus on the basics of photo and video sharing, looking at sites including YouTube, Flickr and PhotoBucket. It will incorporate ways to utilize these social media tools to enhance how you tell your coalition’s story, illustrate areas of the community that need improvement and help create the vision of what your community can become.
