We developed a comprehensive communication plan to promote awareness of the initiative, including:

1. Meetings: (Develop a space to have written communications centralized)

   • Kickoff meeting with major stakeholders
   • Provide updates at Sr. Staff Meetings
   • Provide status updates at the ORA Town Hall and End of the Year Celebrations
   • Partner with stakeholder groups to communicate the program
   • Disseminate information and updates through departmental staff meetings (we can attend their staff meetings)
   • Inform new employees in the new employee orientation and onboarding

2. Written Communications (Develop a space to have written communications centralized)

   • All ORA Staff Listserv – Prior to launch, after launch, periodically
