ONLINE CONFERENCE
MCLE is pleased to present its 11th Annual Legal Services Conference, which brings together members of the Massachusetts legal services community for a half-day of learning. This year’s Conference focuses on storytelling and how to leverage various forms of media to advance the goals of our legal services community.
Delve into the power of print, television, radio, and social media to garner favorable coverage for your causes. Panels will feature top-tier journalists from mainstream media outlets, ready to share insights on capturing attention and shaping narratives in traditional media landscapes. Engage with industry experts on the business of social media and learn how to optimize digital platforms for maximum impact. Additionally, hear from Massachusetts legal aid colleagues who have effectively worked with reporters and used social media to drive impactful campaigns. Don’t miss this opportunity to amplify your voice and advance your goals through storytelling!
Our Featured Speaker is Kate Marple of Who Tells the Story? Kate helps legal services organizations develop practices to ensure that the stories they tell are shaped by and benefit people directly impacted by the issues those stories are about. She also works with individuals and organizations to help them develop skills to talk more effectively and strategically about their work.
Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from colleagues, learn from existing challenges, and gain practical knowledge to effectively work with your community.
