As Sunshine and Sachs partner Shawn Sachs recently mentioned to PRNewser, things aren't getting any easier for non-profits in the down economy. Perhaps in line with those challenges, The Council of Public Relations Firms and its members will be conducting a series of half-day workshops for non-profit organizations, beginning in Los Angeles on December 11th.

"Thriving and Surviving in Uncertain Times: Practical Digital Marketing Techniques for Nonprofits" is being held in conjunction with the Council's 10th anniversary and will take place in Los Angeles, Boston (January 14), San Francisco (January 27), Raleigh (February 19), as well as Dallas and Washington D.C. (dates to be announced soon).

Among the topics to be discussed are how non-profits can use social media and various other digital platforms to "cost-effectively communicate organizational messages, identify and engage constituents and applying to branding and marketing initiatives."
