If you are a Christian school within 100 miles of Kansas City, we should meet!

I will be in downtown Kansas City during the days of October 24-26 for another conference, but would love to schedule a FREE phone or coffee conversation with you and members of your Christian school marketing team.

We love helping Christian schools all over the country understand how to use social media (Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, YouTube and Instagram) to communicate with current families, but also to help generate great leads from prospective families, too!

If you are in the KC area and would like to meet, I would love to hear from you.  The consultation is absolutely FREE – just brainstorming time to help use the power of social media in your school marketing.
