3. Some Observations:
Not all of the 1-pagers had all those sections, but most had several of them.
Some of the essays could easily be used as a communication document, as is.
Some of the “easy” communication methods are becoming saturated.
There is a trend toward more “layers” of communication as centers and programs become more established.
Everyone starts off with a newsletter and list, and strategies grow as capacity and experience grows.
Communication strategies change as the focus and mission of centers change.
How and to whom communication is important can change dramatically
