Are you a C-level exec doing a great job caring for the health and well-being of your organization but ignoring your own health? Do you know the right way to approach the media or what to do when they come knocking at your door?

Join us for a conversation with
Dr. Max

It’s not if, but when a crisis hits your organization will you be prepared? No one knows the NY media like Dr. Max Gomez. He will discuss how you and your organization should be trained and prepared for any course of action, from a wide spread social media crisis to an international disaster affecting your community. It seems that barely a day goes by without opening up a smartphone or computer and discovering that a news site or someone’s Twitterfeed or Facebook post is being talked about. You could be next to receive questions from your stakeholders, your members, your donors and even members of the media. Are you prepared for your position? For the questions you will receive from a reporter? Dr. Max will cover this and more.
