Some possible ideas for ways to share:

  • Local media -- I (Bill) spent about a dozen years doing a regular gig on local talk radio, explaining current research to folks in ways that showed how they could use new findings to make their lives better in very concrete ways.
    • Write a column for the local paper
    • Do local radio -- especially during drive times or breakfast
  • Being a source for your local media folks -- be the person they want to come to when they have questions
  • Send stories to your local media
  • Social media
    • Blog
    • share things on your networks, e.g., LinkedIn, facebook, etc.
  •  Become a regular adviser to local groups, such as
    • school groups (PTAs, teachers, administrators, parents)
    • local politicians
    • chamber of commerce
    • Cooperative Extension Service
    • local organizations (business, public service, clubs, etc.)

 

Other possiblities:

  • Try to link our outreach to things happening in our communities
    • Special events 
    • Holiday celebrations
      • For instance, think of all the things we could do with Halloween
    • Special commemorations

Special Training:

  • STP-sponsored communication training tracks at all ToP conferences and at APA and APS in the STP tracks
    • Such tracks should have a mix of presentations, workshops, and round-tables
    • There also needs to be time for all participants and presenters to socialize with one another, to build trust and relationships
    • It's also important for presenters and participants to exchange contact information, and to stay in touch
      • This will help them to stay on track and to keep energized about the ideas
      • Perhaps we should set up a sort of contact clearing-house for this purpose
      • Perhaps it would be useful to have some sort of regular communication so that presenters and participants would be encouraged to keep it all up.  This might be a monthly or quarterly email newsletter or e-zine.
