Learning Room Resources

The Learning Room is a benefit exclusive to members.  Presentations are presented by WBN members for WBN members.

Promotion of Learning Room Presentations by WBN

WBN will promote the Learning Room event free of charge to the presenter as follows. There is a potential of 17 promotional pieces for each presenter preceding the event and one following the event. 

Advertising for each presenter will occur in four WBN Connects e-blasts prior to the presentation; on the website from the time the information is given to our Communications Director; in two community calendars; and in the President's announcements at luncheons and other events.  The value of advertising and promotion which WBN will do is worth between $150.00 and $200.00 to the presenter.

Ad/promo copy each week and the promo flyer from the presenters are to be submitted to Sandra Stolz, Director of Communications no later than 5:00pm on the Thursday prior to the Monday’s WBN Connects. 

WBN will submit advertising for the events to the Business Examiner and Times Columnist.  A lead time of two weeks is required or by the 10th day of the previous month.  Please confirm this with Janis LaCouvee, Director of Public Relations and Advertising.

However, even with the extensive promotion the organization will undertake, the success of each presentation does not rest with WBN and WBN assumes no responsiblity for the success of the presentation.

WBN will maintain a strong supporting role and each presenter must assume responsibility for actively promoting themselves above and beyond our efforts.  For instance, by coming early to all networking events to make one-on-one contact; giving a Toonie Talk; and making personal contact with members using our website directory, the potential for success of each event will be enhanced.  Self-promotion is a very important factor for the success of your presentation.  In the end, the heightened success of each presentation will be a direct result of your own marketing efforts.
