National Association of Government Communicators - 2014 Communication School

I attended the NAGC's 2014 Communications School and was thoroughly pleased with all I learned. It was just what I needed to re-energize my professional pursuits. My responsibilities during the day at my job and my new responsibilities as a mommy have left my head spinning in terms of how to get back on track with my professional development. I never want to get so comfortable in one situation that I fail to take notice of the advancements occurring in my communications field, and of course, new opportunities to grow and learn.

I'm responsible for creating and implementing communication plans. It can be very challenging because each plan is different and requires different strategies, or at least a different way to communicate to the project managers. Listening to the best practices of some of the country's top communicators gave me insight into some new strategies I can use back at the office.
