This class is 2 part class, and attendance on both days is required.  Day 1 – April 7 / Day 2 – April 8th (9:00-12:00)

Highly rated trainer, Barbara Nelson of Nelson Communications will facilitate Write Right! –Baseline Business Writing Skills, a virtual writing program, in two half-day sessions. The ability to write a message without mistakes in grammar and punctuation enhances the image of not only the person writing, but also the organization that person works for. Furthermore, good writing increases an individual’s career opportunities and saves the department time and money. This class is for writers who want to feel confident that their communications are clear and correct.

We’ll tackle the basics of business writing from constructing clear sentences to making sure sentences are grammatically correct and punctuated appropriately. Topics include:
• Determining what’s right today—have the rules changed?
• Learning the rules you can bend—and those you can’t
• Constructing clear, complete sentences
• Eliminating grammar errors
• Using punctuation marks correctly
• Capitalizing correctly and consistently
• Proofreading effectively
