27th Annual Martha Robinson Lecture
Saturday, April 19 2008 @ 12:29 PM CDT
The Neighborhood Guide to Winning at City Hall: Language, Tactics and Strategies to Motivate the Public and Persuade Politicians!
Louisiana Landmarks Society presents the twenty-seventh annual Martha Robinson Lecture Monday, May 12, 2008, 6:30pm at the The Historic New Orleans Collection, 533 Royal St.
This years guest speaker, former VCPORA President, Nathan Chapman will share his experience on the subject "The Neighborhood Guide to Winning at City Hall: Language, Tactics and Strategies to Motivate the Public and Persuade Politicians!"
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 Institutes'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!
The 2008 Martha Robinson Lecture is sponsored by Mercedes Whitecloud.
