Public Relations Program<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Public Relations program\u2019s purpose is to create, share, implement and support communication that advances the mission of the ALA and projects a positive image of our organization to the public at all levels. It covers every kind of communication from casual conversation to public speaking, news releases, interviews, and all forms of media. It is the vehicle through which we can share our purpose, vision, and mission, as well as information about upcoming events that may interest the public.<\/p>\n

Public relations as a concept is neither simply \u201cpublicity\u201d nor internal communications. It reaches beyond<\/em><\/strong> our own organization to promote visibility in our communities and share a positive message. Sharing interesting and relevant information about the ALA as well as the Legion Family, its programs, and mission can serve to increase visibility and interest.<\/p>\n

The Public Relations Chair should be informed of any newsworthy events or activities and plans for events, so as to be able to promote them to the community in a positive manner.<\/p>\n
