Communications Unit
NorthStar's Communications Unit focuses mainly on both internal communications for the clubhouse community and external communication with the rest of the world.
Internal communications publishing the weekly member newsletter, communicating relevant announcements, and maintaining active social media, and more. External communication is maintaing relationships with community organizations, funders, and other people and agencies through developing and maintaining the NorthStar website, brochures, newsletters, videos and other promotional literature. Additionally, the Communications Unit goes out into the community and does presentations at hospitals and other agencies to advocate for NorthStar and its unique place in mental health recovery.
The staff working for the Communications Unit are Bill Waters and Zach Canciller. Members would work with primarily these staff to develop both the outward face of NorthStar and the internal communications keeping other members in the know.
