Communications Committee

Coordinator: Deborah Place

The Communications Committee is a group of rank-and-file volunteers facilitated by the elected coordinator who work together to keep you and your coworkers informed and engaged with the union through emails, newsletters, social media, the website, and more!

We meet biweekly on Wednesdays from 12-1pm over Zoom, and work asynchronously in between meetings. The time commitment varies depending on the project and time of year. If you have writing, editing, social media, graphic design or website management experience, there is a place for you on the committee. We’d love to have you join us!  Please reach out to Deborah Place at dplace@umass.edu or on Teams to express interest or if you have any questions.

Subgroups: Emails & Newsletters, Social Media, Website
