Storytelling Through Video: How YOU can use video as a tool to generate interest in your nonprofit
A picture says a thousand words, and a video is made of a thousand pictures! Video is currently the most authentic and practical way to share stories, directly from the mouths of your clients, volunteers, and staff members. But how do you even get started? After all, video can be expensive! We're talking 10s of thousands of dollars expensive for your average 30s commercial! Join WID-NJ and Kyle Foor from Weston: Video and Media to learn how you can get started today with a $0 budget!

May Roundtable: Working on Wellness with NAMI Mercer
Women in Development New Jersey (WID-NJ) welcomes NAMI Mercer volunteers Karen Marquis, PhD and Carol Kivler, MS, CSP to lead a roundtable all about wellness at work!
Since the worldwide pandemic, the demand for mental health support in our communities continues to grow. In response to this need, NAMI Mercer has been developing a program called Working on Wellness in which participants converse on a variety of topics related to mental wellness in the workplace.
During this interactive session, the conversation will focus on various struggles many of us face as nonprofit professionals. Participants will exchange ideas as well as expressions of support. Come prepared to share, listen, and uplift members of the WID-NJ community!
At this roundtable, you will gain an impression of what an employee resource support group can achieve in reducing the stigma associated with conversations on mental wellness. Furthermore, you're invited to shape the conversation! When you register, you will identify or suggest a topic of interest.
Please note: unlike our other virtual events, this roundtable will not be recorded and shared with members. We want to provide a safe space where participants can fully engage in the conversation. WID-NJ members can access past roundtables through the membership portal.
Don’t miss this opportunity to interact with the WID-NJ community and take steps to improve your workplace wellness!
