This interactive session will brainstorm ways to promote more businesses in your neighborhood\, so that you leave ready to hit the ground running.\n #3 Promoting the Program Tuesday\, August 28th 2018\, 10am 12pm\n\n It's now time to apply what we created in sessions I and II. To be successful with your campaign\, you need buy-in throughout your community\, which requires effective promotion.
