connectNmission eNewsletter

Wrote copy for the General Board of Global Ministries monthly eNewsletter, connectNmission. Work included identifying appropriate content for 10-12 stories each month as well as working with subject matter experts to determine the scope and focus for each issue.

This new communication combined three former newsletters and required much planning and coordination to make it work.  Also wrote announcements to explain the nature of the change to subscribers of the communications that were rolled into this new piece.

In March 2011 connectNmission won a DeRose Hinkhouse award of excellence from the Religion Communicators Council.
