 | Crisis Planning and Response
Coming October 29-30, 2008 in Nashville, Tenn., this highly interactive workshop focuses on effective crisis communications—both internal and external—and development of essential skills for successfully handling media interviews during a crisis. It also provides in-depth information on crisis planning, prevention and response. This one-and-a-half day workshop is vital for anyone whose responsibility includes identifying and responding to a crisis, and who may speak directly to the news media. | | Furtado, McCullough receive scholarships

Learn how to earn a certification in Christian communications through The United Methodist Church. | | Communicators' Database
For the past nearly 10 years, the Communications Resourcing Team has provided communicators with an online database of conference communicators. While it is still one of our priorities, we’re currently going through transition with databases and need to ask your indulgence while we adjust the content. We hope the online information will be up-to-date very soon. If you have not sent us your most recent communications staff members and commission chair, please send the contact information to Deborah at djarrett@umcom.org. We regret any inconvenience the transition is causing. | | What’s the average salary?
From a survey of annual conference communicators, the average salary for a fulltime director is $54,445. Only about 1/3 of the conference communications directors are members of the extended cabinet. These and several more findings shed light on United Methodist communications in a survey conducted by the Communications Resourcing Team.
