Edit a Program's Description

There are 2 description fields in a Program's settings. The first is a quick summary used more as a preview.  The second description is your detailed description. Media planners will use this description to better understand what you are all about and how it may relate to their desired audience.

Tip: Descriptions used in your "About" section or Media Kit are a good place to start.
