Website coming soon from WhippleHill

Looking to do more video so meetings can be shared.

Considering having a Communications Audit Team. Team would review publications, communications, and website at no cost to the school.

Question of the group: Is it possible to collaborate coast to coast?

Start by assembling a small group through email, conference call, or go to lunch.

Vendors and speakers are willing to speak for free because they are addressing such a targeted group of communications professionals.

Tips and tricks: You're not going to please everyone.

Good way to share job openings.
