Language, Tactics and Strategies to Motivate the Public and Persuade Politicians!
Guest Speaker: Nathan Chapman
Reception to follow

Now president of The Marketing Center in New Orleans, Nathan Chapman began volunteering for historic preservation as a young advertising copywriter, helping successfully lead citizens opposed to the Audubon Institute's plans to locate the Insectarium on Esplanade Avenue at the river.

He recently concluded five years as president of the Vieux Carré Property Owners, Residents and Associates, Inc. (VCPORA).

His marketing skills and experience in community organizing have made him one of the most successful preservationists of his generation.

When the French Quarter's "hotel moratorium" was threatened, Nathan mobilized the public to convince the Mayor to sign the only zoning veto in the city's history.

Come learn how to become more persuasive in your volunteer work!
