The program incorporated training in lobbying the legislature; use of a uniform message; statewide awareness activities which were tailored for local implementation; enhanced media relations and presentations to the legislature. The program succeeded, both in financial and organizational development terms, and underscored the importance of effective communications, even for organizations with stellar reputations.
