Help Herzl 'focus' on communications! |
|
Since you've read this far, we have a volunteer opportunity that might be just perfect for you!
We are seeking a diverse group to serve on our Communications Focus Group. You'll come together for three in-person meetings a year to help shape effective communications. Members must stay abreast of all Herzl communications, provide feedback on messages and their effectiveness, and work together to identify future needs and trends.
