Is it possible to get any more passionate about the work that I do?
The California Endowment today just wrapped up an intensive two-day
Communications training with all of the 14 communities in LA. I
have come away, excited, anxious and more ready than ever to help
broadcast the work of the Long Beach Building Healthy Communities!
(With a little healthy competition ;) )
These two days for me were really to build relationships with
my colleagues that are striving for the same positive changes in
these 14 communities across the state. I also learned some very
valuable skills from building a communications plan to effectively
writing and distributing press releases and using current social
media outlets to integrate your information and broadcast your
message to a wider audience. It was jampacked with so much
information and I couldn't possibly begin to cover here what I
learned! What I can say is that there are some very exciting
opportunities that will be coming up. And now that I feel a much
stronger working relationship with my fellow coordinators,
cross-site collaboration I believe will grow as a result. This has been just a quick and dirty update and brief
reflection on the past two days. I'm excited for what is to
come! |
