AGENDA:

  • Urgent Items
  • Review progress on open items:
    • AgGateway newsletter article
    • Core Documents flyer
  • Social media plan
  • Next steps for Communications team under PAC

DISCUSSION:

  • Core Documents flyer is in draft form but not quite where we need it to be for Commodity Classic. Susan has the draft and is working on refining it and preparing for printing. She will pass back a revised version for our review when ready. Time is too short to print in time for the show.
    • Wiki page with all documents is not yet ready. Flyer links to this page and it needs to be complete before distributing.
  • Susan has content for the article and is working on drafting a first version for our review. March 15th is deadline for April newsletter, which is what we are shooting for. More review and discussion when Andres returns.
  • Social media - maybe create a google doc or Excel file where people can plug in news coming up that can be shared on social media. Either people can be directed to enter their requests or this will be a place for the team to track what is going out. Most likely will need to reach out to get content on a regular basis.
    • Abby to kick this effort off to organize the team around tracking and communicating about social media
    • Need a plan to gather content from each of the PAC working groups.
    • Commodity Classic - big opportunity to tie this together with core documents as well as ADAPT news release
  • Plan to meet with each of the PAC working groups at the MYM in June (13-16). If able to coordinate meetings sooner than that, Shannon will set them up. Start with IRG working group - they are the first to be likely to have something for communications.
    • IRG working group - Tuesday, 6/14 7:30-8:30
    • PAC meeting - Tuesday, 1-2:50
    • PAIL/WMWG - Wednesday, 7:30-9:25
    • Remote Sensing - same as PAIL
    • SPADE/FOWG - Monday, 6/13 2:35-5:30
    • WAVE/Telematics - not yet scheduled
    • ADAPT - business meeting - Wednesday, 4-6pm
  • Developer's conference is being planned - need to think about how this links to core documents. Going into it will need communications support - how to raise awareness about where industry is headed, ADAPT framework
    • Needs to include people outside of AgGateway - Jim finding out if we can use Thursday of the MYM to do this or if it needs to go offsite due to outside attendees.
    • Jeremy to keep us informed regarding how soon he needs help from communications for this effort.
