As Communications Manager, I am responsible for sharing CentroNía's mission with stakeholders at all levels - staff, clients, donors, and the overall community. I work closely with the Director of Development and Communications to build a communications calendar complimenting the overall strategic plan of the organization. In addition to managing our presence in the media and relationships with journalists, the department is also integral in managing internal and external communications. My team supports fundraising efforts to ensure integrity of messaging and branding, maximize outreach, and streamline logistics. We leverage program accomplishments to share the mission of the organization with stakeholders by highlighting individual success stories or special recognitions whenever possible. I oversee the packaging and dissemination of these communications through multiple channels - print and digital - in order to ensure the process is efficient, results-driven, and cost-effective. In this role, I also work with the team to organize events either in the community or for the purpose of fundraising. My experience in event planning spans from initial logistics and outreach to day-of management.
