Turning Big Questions into RSVPs

Westchester Community for Ethical Culture

Since 2022, I’ve given Westchester more reasons to gather, question, and connect over ethical ideas. 

Each event was promoted through social posts, digital calendar listings, and outreach tailored to the communities most likely to care. 

From democracy and AI to jazz concerts, community cleanups, and enough pancake breakfasts to keep Westchester swimming in syrup, every campaign balanced a creative hook with clear details: the date, location, and a direct link to sign up.
