We are pleased to announce that the statewide Avertising Campaign is officially in progress across the state.
The Cooperative Advertising Trustees met to streamline the approach to the Cooperative Advertising effort to get the biggest bang for our buck.
Following that, the Cooperative Advertising Committee met and re-fashioned our message through a facilitated process through the League. With that process the committee formulated excellent bullet points for the League to share with the radio stations around the state. Each radio station came up with proposed scripts, which were then voted on by the Committee, with the winning script to be used statewide.
