Moderator: Elisa Ortiz, Deputy Director of Government Affairs and Outreach, Smart Growth America (3.5 hour session) Good planning is NOT the most important part of creating successful sustainability projects. Excellent public communication is one of the most important tools you have in building long-lasting sustainability in your community and region (and in keeping your plan off the proverbial shelf). But if you're running around without any sort of communications strategy - or campaign plan - you're wasting your time. Listen as communications and campaign experts as well as local practitioners share their experiences in planning for, sometimes stumbling through, and ultimately succeeding in their communications efforts. Be guided through a basic campaign planning process and learn how to build the bones of your own strategic communications plan. Audio CDs: 3 | | Audio CD | | $36.00 | | $36.00 | |
