Plan Ahead- 2014 Jazz Appreciation Month

Jazz Appreciation Month (JAM)–April 2014–is just around the corner. Affiliates have the opportunity to participate in FREE Media Training/Networking webinars organized by The Jazz Journalists Association (JJA). The JJA program will help Affiliate organizations use JAM as an opportunity to broaden their outreach to local communities and media outlets and to network with local jazz influencers.

• Increase local awareness of JAM and the institution’s JAM-related events.
• Build the institution’s ongoing social media presence.
• Reach under-served local communities.
