Description
A crisis situation may be lurking around the corner. . . are you ready? Using an unscripted, fictitious — but very, very plausible — situation, this workshop will give you, the senior staffer, the opportunity to witness an association crisis, and how the staff resolves a crisis situation as they develop the necessary elements for handling communications when bad things happen. As an audience member, be prepared for role play as a member of the media or a concerned citizen — see how the perspective of media relations, staff decisions, the general public, or others can drive the decisions you make!
