Take some time to consider what IS your story? This sounds rudimentary, but it’s easy to forget the real story behind the numbers. If you are celebrating your co-op’s 25th anniversary, ask yourself, why was your co-op created? What solution did your co-op develop for the community that it serves? How did it help the community? What impact did it have on families? Do some research and think about who within your co-op community will have inspiring stories to share.
Find a main character for your story. Can you tell the story through the eyes of someone in your co-op or your community, who has been impacted in a meaningful way? Using a personal story is an effective way to engage an audience.
Keep it simple. Minimize the use of jargon and technical language.
