Visual information is quicker for our brain to process and easier for us to remember. If you’re a nonprofit, you need to get your message across and make it stick. Maps and location data are visual, relatable, and beautiful, what better way to show of your advocacy efforts!
The Committee of 70 explored and shared the results of their post-election polling place survey this fall. Thousands of rows in a spreadsheet were turned into beautiful maps that effortlessly display hotspots of polling place issues and are easy to share with the public and elected officials to advocate for reform.
Join us for the second installment of our Map Readiness Webinar Series to learn about how you can visualize your impact with location data and stand out from the crowd.
We’ll be focusing on maps and location data for this webinar, but even if you don’t know the first thing about latitude and longitude, never fear! We’re here and we’ll show you the ropes. You’ll be whipping up maps to impress your funders and constituents in no time.
