Muster’s president and founder Alex Schettine lead this morning’s presentation, sharing his vision for making advocacy smart and easy for the nonprofit 501(c) 3 and 501(c) 6 community by creating a funnel for support. Their one-click approach to geo-targeted campaigns can reach a single person, a particular position, a desired committee, or a custom target. Their database contains over 60,000 state and national elected officials who can be easily reached by phone, email, or stamped letter. Webster’s Dictionary defines the word “muster” as an assembling of troops for battle, we can certainly see how this name is fitting!
