Good public relations should always be a goal of board members. Keeping the community informed about your center is important.

A good way to stay in touch with local residents is through media sources.

Most Christian radio stations will allow you to place PSAs and press releases on the air at no or for very little cost.

You can arrange for interviews with talk-show hosts, especially during key times like Sanctity of Human Life Week or before your annual walk or other fundraiser.

Board members can network with citizens to find opportunities to speak about or represent your center in other venues as well. For instance, schools and community clubs often look for presentations.

Going to your community with the good news about your center is a good way to keep connected to those you are serving. Good public relations also builds community trust in your organization.
