New CSN “How To”

csnnc-logo-header-small file

The Community Support Network exists, in part, to serve the flow of information between and among organizations and individuals. To help in using CSN to maximum benefit, we have created a document called, “Community Support Network of Nevada County – A “How To” Guide for Speaking Inquiries & Information Sharing.” Here it is:  csn_how-to_guide-for-speaking-inquiries-info-sharing

The document is posted at the bottom of the CSN website home page,  www.csnnc.org, and will be included in the “Quick Links” item in each week’s e-newsletter.

Following are excerpts from the document – specifics for “how to” are in the complete document – see link above: 

Here’s how CSN can help you share information…

  • E-NEWS – Submit an item for the weekly Tuesday morning e-news. See complete document for submission guidelines.
  • NETWORK ANNOUNCEMENTS – At most CSN Partner Meetings (first Wednesday of each month except July, August, and December) there is a 5-minute slot at the end for people to share very brief announcements of upcoming events, new programs, etc.
  • INFO TABLE – At all CSN Partner Meetings there is a table set up at the back of the meeting room for people to put flyers, brochures, etc. Any left at the end of the meeting will be recycled, so please take any extras with you when you go.
  • “BUILDING THE NETWORK” SHORT SPEAKING SLOT – At most CSN Partner Meetings there is an agenda item called “Building the Network.” This is a 5-10 minute opportunity for a scheduled speaker to share information about an organization and/or program.
  • “MEETING FOCUS” FEATURED SPEAKING SLOT – At all CSN Partner Meetings there is a “Meeting Focus” slot for a featured speaker or panel. This is a 45-60 minute opportunity for a scheduled speaker or panel to share information about organizations and/or programs.

See complete document for how to apply for speaking slots. Speakers are scheduled up to 6 months in advance.
