Public Relations and Group Outreach Project

Public Relations and Group Outreach Project
By Susan Aitken

Proposal: Identify other professional groups, who are either women professionals or
members of related design and engineering fields who have relevance to OWA. Evaluate
appropriate groups for cross-interaction and support.

Identify outreach and cross-interaction goals including:
• Joint meetings or presentations opportunities
• Links to Websites
• Provide OWA members as speakers for their organizations.
• Tap their organizations for speakers for OWA functions.
• Negotiate discounts for OWA members for services or training offered by that
group.
• Add groups to OWA invitation lists for exhibits and similar
• National as well as regional recognition

OWA Objectives Supported:
1. Increase OWA visibility with public, professional groups and other groups with
similar goals.
2. Contributes to arrangement of Speaker and presentations.
3. Contributes to more interactivity on OWA web site
4. Identifies organizations that are already providing services OWA would like to
provide to our members, but avoids duplication (and the organizational effort that
goes into planning them).

How you can help: Are you a member in another women’s professional group? Are
you aware of or familiar with another organization that seems to fit the bill? Send your
suggestions to me at susan@owa-usa.org. I’ll update my progress in future newsletters.
