Kelley Marketing Group April Virtual Meeting (CAREERtalk)
2026-04-16 11:30 - 12:45 | Webinar / Virtual, United States
Champlain College students and faculty convene with area marketing professionals to share their knowledge, experience, and ideas on a pro-bono basis with a different Vermont nonprofit client each month. Our April client is the First Congregational Church of St. Albans (firstcongregationalstalbans.org).
You’ll gain some wonderful industry contacts and build relevant experience for your resume. Students will receive the client’s completed questionnaire a few days in advance of the meeting to have time to formulate ideas. Join virtually on Zoom.
About Kelley Marketing Group: For over 40 years, Kelley Marketing Group has met monthly to provide pro-bono marketing advice to nonprofit organizations so they may thrive and improve our community. The “consultants” who gather include just-starting-out and seasoned marketing professionals, as well as faculty, staff, students, and alumni of Champlain College and other area colleges, melding the community with academia. The nonprofit client completes a questionnaire outlining the marketing topic about which they are seeking advice. Consultants get access to the questionnaire in advance of the meeting to get their creative juices flowing in anticipation of sharing out during the 90-minute session. Consultants can attend just an occasional meeting or join in the conversation every month. This is a great opportunity to network, build experience, and pay it forward.
