We are forming some new teams at CMADI to work on our PR toolkit, and we’d like to invite you to help. Below is some information about this project and the teams that we are creating. If one of these speaks to you, jump on board! Just email us to volunteer.

Over the next 8 months, we will be creating the kit we have been talking about through a process of gathering examples, compiling existing resources, and creating new tools. If you join one of our toolkit teams, you’ll be connecting with coaches all over the world to find out their best practices and resources for PR, collect samples of what they have been doing, and using your own brainpower and creativity to put it all together into a user-friendly form. It will be a fun and collegial process, and you’ll learn a lot, too.

Here are the teams currently looking for new members:

Media Relations Team – Responsible for gathering and creating tools such as press releases, media tips, talking points about coaching, and links to PR resources. Currently on this team are David Stocum and Helen Burton; we need 1 to 3 more volunteers.

Marketing Communications Team – Responsible for gathering or creating tools such as flyers for (or descriptions of) coaching PR events, brochures about hiring a coach, and promotional copy about coaching. Currently on this team are Feroshia Knight and Pam Duffy, we need 1 to 3 more volunteers.

Research & Evidence Team – Responsible for gathering or creating tools such as case studies, research, and statistics about coaching effectiveness, and articles about coaching. Currently on this team is Ron Sloan, we need 2 to 4 more volunteers.

To volunteer for a team, email us and tell us which team you would like to play on!
