Purpose
The SEARCH Communications Working Group (CWG) is an ad hoc, short-term working group convened in March 2016 to provide advice to the SEARCH Science Steering Committee (SSC) on a coordinated SEARCH communications strategy. The Working Group reports to the SSC. CWG term ends June 2016.
Role
The role of the Working Group is to identify:
- Key goals and audiences for SEARCH communications efforts.
- Suggested communication tools/types and formats (web, printed, etc.).
- Mechanisms to ensure coordinated outward communications across all SEARCH components (e.g., Action Teams, overall program).
- Priorities for communication activities.
Membership
Membership of the working group is composed of representatives from various SEARCH groups, partners, and others to provide the needed expertise. Project management support is provided by ARCUS.
