Communications Committee
The branch's voice — carrying our work to members, the press, and the wider Salem-Keizer community.
“What we do only matters if the community knows it's happening — and can find us when they need us.”
The Communications Committee keeps members and the public informed — maintaining the branch's website, social channels, and press relationships, and making sure every event and position statement reaches the people it's for.
