Whatever You Need

by tracy

Working in Public and Media Relations means you help your client with whatever they need. Sometimes those needs include being in front of the camera.  Not long ago, I participated in three projects slightly different than a typical work day.

For a number of years I have helped the NH Fire Standards and Training with their E-Learning videos and recently helped with an update video on new protocols.

Covide-19 has forced many to reinvent the way they conduct business, raise funds or gather socially.  The amazing non-profit group Girls at Work is no different. Fundraising is a lifeline to any non-profit and this Manchester, NH based organization knew they couldn’t skip this year’s annual fundraiser.  It was my fifth year emceeing the Diva Comedy Night, but this year it was done virtually.

Covid-19 has also affected our broadcasters.  As Executive Director of the New Hampshire Association of Broadcasters I have watched our dedicated local radio and tv stations work day and night to continue sharing  important and sometimes life saving information to our communities during this pandemic.  They’ve worked tirelessly.  Each year, we host the Granite Mike Awards to celebrate all of the broadcaster’s hard work but this year, we had to do it differently to keep everyone safe.

Here are a few clips of those recent productions:

SMALL DELIVERY/BIG IMPACT

Well Sense NH joined the growing list of generous donors with the delivery of 500 cloth masks, 500 individual hand sanitizers and hundreds of gloves for use by students and teachers and staff at any of Manchester Schools this fall.

The fabric adjustable masks are some of the most “in demand” PPEs because of their durability and safe reusability. The items Will be our to quick use as students prepare to return to schools at some point in the coming weeks and months.

Districts like Manchester are all hard at work finalizing and adjusting plans for a safe return to classrooms as the nation awaits a vaccine to curb the health threat of COVID-19.

“Companies like Well Sense giving us these donations make a big difference,” says John Goldhardt, Manchester School District Superintendent.  “To have that additional protection makes everyone safer and we really appreciate it.  Once our schools enter into hybrid class schedules, we will distribute masks to students and staff.  In addition, all of our classes will need access to hand sanitizer. Along with our proper protocols, this donation is very helpful as we prepare to welcome students back in the coming months.”

This is the first of an ongoing series of donations of PPE supplies Well Sense NH is making around the state.

“We know families and educators are anxious so we hope to alleviate some of that concern,” explains Caitlin Howard, Well Sense NH.  “We are just happy to help.”

This is What We Do

As quoted by Louis Paseur, “Fortune favors the prepared mind.”  In August, Governor Chris Sununu joined PROCON President & CEO Mark Stebbins and Kane Company President Michael Kane to cut the ribbon on a “seacoast medical hub” which will host medical training through Portsmouth Regional Hospital.  This uniquely team effort featured the vision and creativity of the Kane Company and PROCON, whose leaders lent their best and brightest architects and builders to create a building that features the newest in medical training technology along with the creature comforts necessary for a high quality academic facility.  This was a remarkable team effort involving PROCON project managers, hospital staff and community leaders who are thrilled to have this facility in their backyard. The Spradling Group assisted in helping prepare for this historic ribbon-cutting.  COVID required a different approach, but the event was well covered by local media and celebrated by many on New Hampshire’s seacoast.  This is what we do.
