Written by On March 17, the MMA will host a webinar on visually communicating municipal budgets.
What are municipal leaders doing to make their annual budget digestible, accessible, and engaging for constituents? Award-winning broadcast journalist Dave Kartunen, founder of kartoonEDU, finds that many cities and towns are not presenting their budgets in a way that resonates with their community, despite having the communication tools to do so.
In this webinar, Kartunen will walk attendees through a visual storytelling campaign that any municipality can leverage to tell their budget story — to any audience, through any medium, and on any platform.
kartoonEDU uses custom animation to explain complex concepts and has worked on topics from budgets to recruitment to capital construction projects.
In addition to Kartunen, speakers will include Wakefield Superintendent Doug Lyons and Reading Assistant Town Manager Jayne Wellman.
Online registration is available for the 75-minute webinar, which will begin at noon. Only MMA members may register. MMA members include elected officials and municipal employees from MMA member communities across the state. Media members are not permitted to attend.
