Behind the Scenes at Sunflower...
Susan shares what it takes to keep a nonprofit running, beginning with our Communications Department
Read on for the first in a series detailing the talents and tireless efforts of our staff and key volunteers.
Jaime Greenberg -- Communications Director

Have you ever admired the design and content of this e-newsletter? Marveled at the attention to detail in our promotional materials and all the many improvements to our website including the much more user-friendly navigation? Don't you just love the amazing photos and video showing up on our Facebook page and website? We even have Twitter and YouTube accounts and a Sunflower Share & Learn Playgroup at Meetup.com! And how terrific is it that we now have a Google calendar that you can access 24/7 so that you always know what's happening at Sunflower?
Did you ever wonder how Sunflower has been able to put out so many first class communications on every level? All this and much more is due to the many hours of hard work, dedication and tireless devotion of Jaime Greenberg, our incredible Communications Director.
Jaime oversees every aspect of Sunflower communications and is responsible for everything you see online and in print. It was Jaime's idea to move from our painfully old fashioned ineffective paper newsletter to a monthly e-news way back in October of 2008. As she has done over the years with each of her great new communications ideas, she quickly outlines the project, researches our options and takes care of all the technical aspects of making it happen seemingly overnight.
Jaime began her work with Sunflower over three and a half years ago as a member of our volunteer Board of Directors. Although she is no longer on the Board, she continues to work with Sunflower strictly as a volunteer. In the two and a half years since Jaime became our very first Communications Director, she has moved Sunflower into the forefront of the local nonprofit scene. We are so fortunate to benefit every day from her writing and editing skills, design sense, technical prowess and artistic photographs and videos!
Victoria Green -- Social Media and PR Manager
victoria@sunflowercreativearts.org
This fall Victoria starting working with Jaime to update the website and increase our social media presence, and since then her voice has become a wonderful addition to Sunflower's super-creative leadership team. Because of her background in marketing at PBCC before Dante and Gus were born she has been a great help in steering our efforts at reaching out to the community and making sure all our events and classes are well publicized.
Victoria posts all the calendar listings in local publications and has done an amazing amount of leg work to update our PR resources. She also was invaluable in helping create the new more user-friendly organization of our website.
