About this Event

Good News, Bad News: Communicating Hope and Truth in Challenging Times

In a world overwhelmed by headlines, heartbreak, and high-speed news cycles, how do we tell stories that honor the truth—without losing hope?

Join us for the next session of Communicating the Good, with guest speaker, James Warren, Founder and CEO of Share More Strories, where we’ll explore how mission-driven messengers can navigate the tension between transparency and optimism. This month’s conversation, “Good News, Bad News: Communicating Hope and Truth in Challenging Times,” will equip nonprofit leaders, advocates, and communicators with tools to speak with both honesty and heart.

We'll unpack:

  • How to balance urgency with encouragement
  • Communicating hard truths without causing despair
  • Uplifting stories of resilience in the face of injustice
  • Practical messaging tips for complex or heavy topics

Come ready to reflect, share a meal, and connect with other non-profit communication, development, and marketing/creative professionals committed to using their voices for good—especially in challenging times!
