UUCW's New Communications Policies
The UUCW Board of Management is excited to be releasing new policies regarding church communications. This is your chance to review these policies and make suggestions, or ask questions of the Board. I want to thank Dave Schowalter for working with me on the Communication Policy task force and all of last year's UUCW Board of Management members for all the work they put into crafting these policies. The new policies can be accessed by clicking on the link included with this article. Please email any questions or comments you have about the policy to Bill Derr (UUCW President) at [email protected]. There will also be a new policy question and answer session on Sunday October 2, at 11:30 am in room 1 (across from Aaron's office).
Introduction to the Communication Policies
It is important that church organizations have a communications policy so that there is a clear understanding of how staff and volunteers interact with the public, members and the media. At UUCW, we value the plurality of our opinions and viewpoints on many subjects. In an official capacity, however, it is important that the church speak with "one voice," and provides a consistent message to the public. Without a clear policy, it would be possible, for example, for a newspaper reporter to obtain two or more different, possibly even opposing, sets of information when writing a story about the church. Another problematic example would be if separate volunteers developed separate social media accounts under the UUCW name. Having a clear policy ensures that the public and our membership gets a consistent message from the church.
The church website is probably the single most important communication tool the Church utilizes. It is critical that private information individuals provide via the website remains private, and that UUCW conveys consistent messages through the website in an organized manner.
This policy is broken down into the following sub-categories: media relations, social networking, driving and cell phone use, electronic media, and political contributions and lobbying.
