The Communications Committee’s role is to ensure that the board builds strong and strategic relationships with stakeholders through the integration of the organization’s education, public relations, and public policy activities. It achieves this by working with staff to develop a community relations plan that identifies formal and informal mechanisms to dialogue with the community as well as key messages articulated to stakeholders; promoting HLC’s services to the community; serving as a conduit for communicating with various media outlets; developing criteria to identify and select collaborative partners; and evaluating stakeholder relationships.
