This Friday, July 20, we will be doing that at a special networking forum with senior communicators from leading progressive organizations. After a discussion about each organization’s message strategies for this year, we will break out into “speed dating” sessions where panelists will meet with smaller groups of DCNet members to get to know each other, answer questions and share ideas about messaging to key audiences.

Confirmed Panelists:
•Alison Omens, Deputy Director of Public Affairs and Director of Media Outreach, AFL-CIO
•Andrea Purse, Vice President of Communications, Center for American Progress
•Derek Turner, Communications Director, NAACP
•Fred Sainz, Vice President of Communications & Marketing, Human Rights Campaign
•Julian Teixeira, Communications Director, National Council of La Raza
•Sandhya Bathija, Media Relations, American Civil Liberties Union

This is a great opportunity to learn what other communicators are doing and to connect with key organizations which are helping set the national message agenda.
