Exchanging Ideas

In February 2013, Sarah was invited to meet with a team of cabinet level communications directors from Kosovo. The group was visiting North Carolina as part of the International Affairs Council's International Visitor Leadership Program.

The group came to North Carolina to learn about communications during emergencies and times of crisis. The conversation focused on the details of best practices, including response procedures, working with other agencies, building relationships with the news media and using social media. There were also side conversations about making the most of a small budget and logistics and technology that make Joint Information Systems (JISs) successful.
