Crisis Communications Planning
Data breach. Bid protests. Suspension. Debarment. Sensitive personnel matters. Litigation. Investigations and hearings. A crisis can come in many forms, and when the stakes are high, being prepared is critical. Who internally and externally needs to be part of your communications plan? What is your message? Through which channels will you communicate, and are these channels established? Have you considered all possible scenarios? Is your spokesperson ready? Do you have relationships with media, lawmakers, customers, and other stakeholders mapped out? Brian Berry and Michael Amato of CLS Strategies will be the featured speakers and discuss crisis communications planning at PSC’s Communications Network meeting. Walk away with a better understanding of what your company can do now to ensure you’re prepared should a crisis hit.

Lunch will be provided. Registration and networking will begin at 12:30 p.m.  The program will start promptly at 12:45 p.m.
