The panel discussion, titled Becoming a Storyteller: Why Branding Matters, will be held at 10:30 a.m. at the Hyannis Resort and Conference Center. The panelists will discuss the need for effective, consistent, impactful messaging as donors become inundated with solicitations from a crowded sea of non-profits, according to a press release.
