Why subcommittees became committees
Communications Strategy
Since the communications subcommittee began meeting, we discovered there was too much cross-over of communications between the subcommittees, so we made the decision to rethink the names and structure.
We also came to the conclusion that communications is the main driver between all the committees, so the Communications Subcommittee is now the Development committee, the overarching umbrella for our communications strategies and outcomes.
We invite your feeback, and to participate in ways that work for you.
