VIRTUAL WORKSHOPS

Sponsorship Bootcamp 360 Virtual Series

The NTC Sponsorship Bootcamp virtual series follows the live workshop content but is broken down into six ninety-minute modules.

 

“I know many of us are zoomed-out, so the workshops are formatted in bite size pieces “ states NTC Founder Joanne Veltri.

 

The big advantage of these short intense sessions is that registration is limited to 5 people.  This is so that each registrant will get personal attention that is simply not possible in large zoom room settings “ she continued.

 

Each module will be offered twice per week with third offering should there be a waiting list.
