Be a Campaign Spokesperson in Your
Community
To help raise awareness, CDC counts on campaign partners and
champions to be local spokespersons. We encourage you to speak to
your local PTAs, civic organizations, child care groups, and others
to spread the campaign messages. CDC has developed a presentation
for partners to use when speaking to groups that covers campaign
messages and activities in addition to encouraging people to get
involved . This presentation is designed as an easy tool to help
partners engage their local communities.
