Today, applications open for the 19th Annual SPIN Academy, a training program that brings together nonprofit professionals from across the country working on a diverse set of progressive issues.
Over the four-day retreat, the SPIN Academy supports the development of nonprofit leaders at all levels, from newly hired communications associates to executive directors interested in building their communications skills.
It’s clear that the best way to tell the story of SPIN – and why you should consider applying! – is to share stories of the SPIN Alumni.
Here are a handful of the amazing people who have attended SPIN over the years. To see even more of the incredible SPIN alumni, click here. [NOTE: If you are a SPIN Alumni and would like to share your story, email SPIN today!]
