[Network-Centric Resources] Pitches for Networks of Practice

[Gradeck, Robert M]

Dirk,

Here's one we put together to recruit for a data literacy training series. It seemed to work for us.

It's not all that short though...

We used headers that included:

Why the topic matters
Who we're looking for
What we'll cover
What it means to participate
Benefits of participating
Who is organizing the effort
How do I get involved (call to action)

We had some text under each of the headers that provided more detail and context.

Here's a copy: https://pitt-my.sharepoint.com/:w:/g/personal/rmg44_pitt_edu/ESMKolAlc0RJjUUofdCBiK8Bzb9kJdPm41jX53WMLX72Lg?e=FSVyFt

Hope it helps.

Subject: [Network-Centric Resources] Pitches for Networks of Practice

Hello,

I'm looking for some inspiration for drafting a pitch to join a network of practice - have you seen one that really spoke to you? 

For example - this one from our Capacity Builders Convergence. Do you:
    * Work with organizations to help them develop and strengthen internal and external capacity in their programmatic and operational work?
    * Provide mentoring, training or advising to NGO management and/or staff?
    * Offer on-demand or ongoing support to civil society organizations addressing security, financial or other organizational health needs?
    * Develop open resources to be used by those working for social and racial justice?
    * Do you also have interest in meeting, sharing and collaborating with others working in the broad range of practices areas collectively known as "capacity building"?

Perhaps you drafted something similar for another network to get people to self-identify and get involved?  Please share if you have.

Thanks in advance,


Dirk
