As I gaze out the window, it is hard to believe the snow is finally melting. Yahoo! Spring brings a time of new energy and excitement. This is certainly the case at VP. Our volunteers are hard at work.
One of our focuses for 2015 is improved communications. Jim Erlandson, has graciously volunteered to head up our Communications Team. For the past two years, Jim has served as a VP photographer, writer, event volunteer.. ., basically he helps wherever and whenever needed. What better person to serve as our Communications Leader; he has been involved in almost every aspects of the Project.
Jim has been developing an entire communications plan based on print, video, social media, and other marketing tools. Members of Jim’s team are: Diane Frye – news writer, Michelle Kowalski – brochures and signage, Jesse Lunoe – Facebook, Mark Mutch – Technology Advisor, Beth See – graphic design, Todd Thibo – video, Paul Warren – website, and Sam Warren – Twitter. Jim manages Instagram as well.
The Communications Team is going to be especially busy over the next few months sharing VP stories, event details, and spreading awareness.
