A crisis will happen when you least expect it. Are you prepared?
Most organizations have no tangible plan for communicating when a crisis occurs. This typically leads to a disorganized, unfocused response. As a result, public confidence in your organization plummets, and years of image-building work are undone. In this session, Mark will help guide you through some of the most difficult media and public relations crises you can imagine.

Mobility master planning recognizes that at nearly every college campus, most people arriving daily live on campus or commute by means other than single-occupancy vehicles. This represents thousands of people who need access to, from, and around campus. Making it easier to use alternative transportation serves this majority better than adding more parking spaces. However, the plan means nothing if you don’t act. This presentation takes you through Texas A & M University’s execution of the process from RFP to implementation.
