NYCCAL Committees
Communications Committee
The Communications Committee manages NYCCAL’s website, listserv, Twitter, Facebook and Flickr accounts. Committee members help facilitate communication with members, potential members, allies and press. The communication committee members regularly solicit content updates from the other committees and from members to keep the website, Facebook and twitter accounts up-to-date. (This committee is not solely responsible for creating content – that is a shared responsibility of all active NYCCAL members.) The committee handles the creation of other outreach materials such as postcards and outreach letters & is responsible for archiving NYCCAL materials as well.

Activities are typically focused on State and City level Adult Literacy related funding and policy and include: meeting with public officials and administrators, authoring and/or signing onto advocacy documents, and organizing larger scale events such as rallies.
