Training Description: Does your coalition have awesome ideas, but you cannot get buy-in from the community? Are you struggling with membership recruitment? Is your coalition doing phenomenal work, but no one knows your name? These are just a few of the concerns coalitions have when they have low community visibility. This session will simplify how a coalition can build a strong brand, identify steps to a comprehensive communication plan, and provide guidance for developing strong messaging that will bring the right people to the table.

Objectives: Participants will be able to:
  • recognize the essential elements needed to build their coalition brand
  • identify the steps of developing a culturally competent branding and communications plan
  • express important information about their coalition with key audiences
