• Your profession is in crisis, but you have – a dedicated membership – some allies and potential allies out there


Recommendations• 1. Organizational Structure and Culture

Recommendations• 3. Marketing/Communications/Media

– Develop a crisis communication plan – you need to be leaders, experts and spokespeople when a crisis happens

– Get Media training and a media package; identify a few key individuals who can talk with the media; people who will be available and responsive to media enquiries
