Strand 6. Leadership with the Spirit of Outreach
Share with other leaders your experiences with outreach strategies and materials. Consider questions such as: What are some of the messages that we need to share with all our stakeholders? How can we get our message out to all constituencies including colleagues, parents, local organizations, business and industry, government officials, and the media? How do we garner and sustain support from these constituencies? How do we develop advocacy? How do we deal with public perceptions formed by counter groups?
