Micronesia Challenge Communications Workshop held January 23, 2013
The Guam Micronesia Challenge Communications Planning Workshop was held at the Sheraton Laguna resort on Wednesday, January 13, 2013. It was hosted by the Guam Coastal Management Program (GCMP)and facilitated by Dan Ho, of the Micronesian Image Institute.
"It was an enlightening day of surprises," said Tom Quinata, of GCMP, who works on many of the agency's outreach programs, including the International Coastal Clean-up. "In our work, we rarely take time out to strategize communications plans, and messaging - there's just too much work! So it was really great to actually sit down and craft a plan that can guide us through the years and the inevitable changes."
