Highlights from The FWS Comms Cohort

We are pleased to announce that we have completed our inaugural Comms Cohort! We designed this program for leaders looking to improve their organization's communications. We aimed to develop a thorough and effective learning experience, so that organization’s on the frontlines of serving their communities have the communications strategy they need to achieve their goals.

Effective communication is the cornerstone of organizational success. By empowering leaders with the right tools and strategies, we help them amplify their message, engage their audience more meaningfully, and ultimately drive their mission forward. We also know that not every organization can afford to have consistent support from consultants. So we developed this program to build a community where leaders can learn, share, and grow together, making lasting improvements to their communication strategies.

Here's a quick look at what we accomplished together:

• 7 passionate cohort members

• 5 group sessions on communications strategy, messaging, owned media, earned media, and paid media

• 28 one-on-one sessions addressing specific organizational challenges

• 18 detailed worksheets covering everything from social media processes to paid media specs
