DENA Action Item

To create meaningful exchanges across ministries, DENA and Chief Administrators will encourage the formation of collaborative efforts among DENA ministries. In support of these exchanges, DENA will facilitate the creation of a database to encourage collaboration and cooperation among our ministries that will encourage the creation of partnerships, learning opportunities and other activities in service with the poor.

The Spring Workshop for Communications Professionals

This workshop is open to our Communications, Public Relations, Media Relations, Marketing, Social Media, and all professionals promoting the Lasallian mission at DENA’s ministries.

We will gather to practice critical and practical communications skills while exploring ways to promote the vitality of our Lasallian mission locally, and at the District and global levels.

During this time together, participants will have an opportunity to hear from speakers across DENA about trends in social media and its optimization, to share emerging needs with peers, to reflect on the importance of the Lasallian dimension of the ministries, and to explore lessons learned and things to take forward from the COVID-19 pandemic.

NETWORKING
A key dimension of the Spring Workshop, so time will be provided for conversation and personal professional sharing.
