Three "Knows" of Elevator Speeches for Adult Literacy Programs

Saturday, October 19, 2024
10:00 AM – 10:45 AM PDT
Room/Location: 212/214
We know libraries build community, and literacy programs build relationships--one learner at a time--that make our communities better. Whether recruiting learners, volunteers, staff, partners, or board members/commissioners, being prepared with an "elevator speech" that targets your specific audience, captures their attention (and/or hearts), and highlights what you do and the benefit to them is a great way to spread the message, grow your program and gain support.

Participants will be review the main points of elevator speeches, use a worksheet to draft or modify their own speeches, then "field test" them with other literacy professionals. Examples and suggestions will be provided, and the session will end with a few presentations followed by a question and answer period.
