&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 11px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="https://web.mmac.org/External/WCPages/WCWebContent/webcontentpage.aspx?ContentID=8519" style="width: 300px; height: 232px;" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom:11px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:115%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"&gt;Your professional reputation is not just about what you have done. It is about the story people tell when you are not in the room. In today&amp;rsquo;s competitive landscape, strong work matters, but so does strategic presence and intentional visibility.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom:11px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:115%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"&gt;Reputation by Design is a high-level masterclass for professionals who want to move beyond surface-level &amp;ldquo;personal branding&amp;rdquo; and start shaping how they are perceived with clarity and precision. We will not focus on headshots and bios. Instead, we will dig into how perception is built, how credibility travels through networks, and how influence grows when your strengths are consistently understood by the right people. If you are ready to take full ownership of your professional impact, this session gives you a practical framework you can apply immediately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom:11px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:115%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"&gt;Attend, and you will:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 11px; margin-left: 40px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="tab-stops:list .5in"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:115%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"&gt;- Architect a clear narrative that turns achievements into a strategic story and value proposition&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom:11px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:115%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"&gt;Most professionals touch &amp;ldquo;brand&amp;rdquo; every week without realizing it. It shows up in your slides, internal documents, event materials, and the visuals you share online. If you do not have formal design training, it can be hard to know what good looks like, what choices matter most, and how to create visuals that build trust instead of distracting from your message.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom:11px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:115%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"&gt;This after-work workshop is a strategy-first conversation about visual branding for everyday professionals. Rather than a design tutorial, Carl Cummings will help you understand what brand really is beyond logos, and how everyday visual decisions shape credibility over time. You will learn to spot common non-designer mistakes, make smarter choices with the tools you already use, and create consistency that makes your work look as strong as it is. Expect practical examples, clear frameworks, and guidance you can apply immediately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom:11px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:115%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"&gt;Attend, and you will:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 11px; margin-left: 40px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="tab-stops:list .5in"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:115%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"&gt;- Understand what &amp;ldquo;brand&amp;rdquo; means beyond logos and why it matters in everyday professional work&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 11px; margin-left: 40px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="tab-stops:list .5in"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:115%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"&gt;- Learn how visual consistency builds trust, clarity, and credibility with your audience&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 11px; margin-left: 40px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="tab-stops:list .5in"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:115%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"&gt;- Identify common mistakes non-designers make and how to avoid them quickly&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 11px; margin-left: 40px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="tab-stops:list .5in"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:115%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"&gt;- Explore simple principles for making better visual decisions in presentations and documents&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;-&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="tab-stops:list .5in"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:115%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"&gt;Leave with a practical lens you can use to review and improve your own materials right away&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom:11px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:115%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"&gt;Join us for a high-value session built for professionals who want their work to land with more clarity and confidence. Bring the kinds of materials you create regularly, and leave with a sharper, more intentional approach to visual branding.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
