Editorial Communications Manager

• Mar 2022 - Present

I am responsible for many email marketing efforts, including weekly newsletters to the organization's membership, biweekly newsletters to regional members, event marketing, and news. I coordinate the organization's blog schedule, communicating with authors, editing submissions, and posting them to the website. I also proofread printed marketing materials, press releases, research documents, and more. Additionally, I am heavily involved with our bimonthly magazine, as I write the News section for each issue, proofread each issue, and regularly contribute full-length feature articles. I have trained other staff members and co-led a learning session on editing best practices. For a few months while we were between staff members, I also coordinated all of the social media posts on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Instagram. Show less
