Communication Strategies
Day: Tuesday
Time: 3:30pm - 5pm AKDT
Presenter(s): Justin Cha, Marlene Valle, Brianna Keogh
Abstract:
Not everyone receives information the same way -- in fact, different options are best! The key is identifying which information should be kept internal and which can be shared publicly. Once you share with the public, are you using all possible platforms to reach your community? One Facebook post isn't enough because not everyone uses Facebook, so what should you do? How do you ensure your community is getting the information you're sharing? This workshop will cover strategies and different platforms to consider when you need to communicate with your members.
