To register for this webinar please follow this link: https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/3190783154214715920?source=Michigan. Sessions are free and available only to members of the Michigan library community. Registrants will receive instructions and a link to attend the session directly from PCI after they register.

Communication is of the utmost importance during times of crisis. How do we effectively communicate? What information needs to be shared? How and who shares this information?

This presentation provides the necessary foundational understanding of crisis communication and how to navigate leadership responsibilities during these times.

Participants will gain a better understanding of their own communication style, how to be an effective communicator, and develop leadership strategies.
