Philanos Marketing and Communications Committee Co-Chairs
Philanos strives to amplify your collective voices and your important work. We want to share with you all the ways we are communicating your stories to larger audiences, and how your involvement can help us spread the word!
How are we doing this? Through the Philanos Marketing and Communications Committee. We manage the overall marketing and communications for the organization, and communicate regularly about the good work of Philanos affiliates - to our network and beyond through our numerous marketing and communication vehicles.
Why are we doing this? We are promoting Philanos’ efforts and those of our affiliates to support and encourage the growth and sustainability of our individual affiliates, the advancement of the women’s collective giving movement, and the trends in the philanthropic sector.
Here’s five ways we are regularly communicating about Philanos and our affiliates:
- Philanos Social Media – daily
- Philanos eNewsletters – bi-monthly
- Philanos Blog Posts - ongoing
- Philanos “3 Questions With” Series – ongoing
- Philanos Comms Club – bi-monthly
Here’s five ways that you can help us spread the word about your efforts:
