About
Learn how to create scenarios, messaging, and contingency plans for the types of crises that make your organization the most vulnerable in today's divisive world. Create a simple but comprehensive strategic communications plan to better handle the life-cycle of a crisis, from the time it first hits to months afterwards. You will learn from case studies of nonprofit failures and successes handling crises. You will also receive tips for creating sample "holding statements" to improve your internal and external communications when a crisis occurs and as it plays out. Join us to learn today’s best practices for preparing and managing a crisis you couldn't possibly predict. Join Marcia Stepanek for the final installment of a two-part Crisis Communications webinar series on crisis communications planning, tools, and more.
