Nonprofit Marketing Basics Bootcamp

Marketing Basics Bootcamp is a half-day, in-person workshop designed exclusively for nonprofit leaders who want a clearer, more manageable approach to marketing. Offered as part of Board Connect, this hands-on session is led by Cassie Fortman of Sassy Creative and founder of the Grand Mesa Business Guild, and focuses on practical tools and real-world strategies she has used to build a recognizable, engaging brand in a rural community.

Participants will complete a guided brand and online presence self-audit in advance, then work through the basics of branding, simple content creation in Canva, and approachable social media planning. Attendees will leave with increased clarity, confidence, and a realistic framework they can continue using long after the workshop.

Registered Board Connect nonprofit exhibitors who have paid the exhibitor fee may attend the Marketing Basics Bootcamp at no additional cost as part of their Board Connect registration. All other nonprofits may attend for $99.00. To ensure meaningful interaction and personalized guidance, participation is limited to 20 attendees.

All 2026 Board Connect Academy offerings are presented by Alpine Bank.
