Communication Officers

The hybrid Communicating during a Crisis event in May 2021 kicked off the creation of an ATS administrator group for communications, marketing, and engagement professionals. Casual roundtable discussion webinars are regularly held for those in this area of work to meet one another, ask questions, and share tips, ideas, and resources.

If you haven’t already, please visit Engage ATS—an online community for those who serve ATS schools—and join the “Communications Personnel” community. We'd like to know what's been working for you, what could be working better for you, and how we can enhance your work or help you become more efficient with your tasks/projects.
