NextConnect '11 Speaker Presentations

Under the leadership of BSA’s National VP of Marketing, Nathan Rosenberg, the NextConnect ’11 National Marketing Summits held in Chicago and Los Angeles the week of July 25th were tremendous.

Hosted by Central Region VP of Marketing, Craig Fenneman, and Western Region VP of Marketing, Peter Anderson, the primary goals of the events were to allow for stronger connections around BSA branding, and successful marketing at the local level. Over 100 Councils were represented by marketing chairs, membership chairs and BSA professionals.

The materials posted below were designed to engage and connect you with new ideas and, perhaps, new thinking from innovative marketers in other industries, and to arm you with marketing best practices shared during the terrific breakout sessions.
