Communications Director - Kevin Orr (CSEP)
txorrhome@gmail.com 2016 Election Platform
While in the communications position I would like to put plans and tools in place to help our TGCC chapter achieve and exceed the goals of reaching out and educating others about TGCC thru TGCC/INCOSE website, event notifications (at least 7 days prior to event), newsletters (at least 2 per year), marketing pamphlet, and other professional societies. In conjunction with membership position I: 1) would highlight the benefits of membership and distribute membership information thru TGCC newsletter and other media, and 2) ensure the board addresses any questions about membership from all communication channels. I would visit with other profession societies to observe, learn and understand their communications successes. I would also assist in maintaining organized and accurate communications postings and distributions.
