Chair 

Monique Farmer
Communication Director – Omaha Public Schools

Problem 

 The strength and success of the Omaha STEM Ecosystem requires a clear and concise message in order for stakeholders to have an understanding of the vision and mission of OSE, that can guide stakeholders to become engaged and impact change. As with any new organization, the Omaha STEM Ecosystem did not have a communication plan and a clear message. It is essential, as we transform Omaha into a robust STEM community that all stakeholders clearly understand the mission, vision and goals.

Solution

The Communication Committee is committed to the development of a concise message which will be utilized in the communication plan that includes all communication channels, marketing materials, social media, press releases and publications.
