Conway Regional Health System on LinkedIn: What makes Conway Regional a "Best Place to Work?" Employees can earn up… (2024)

Building community relations is like tending to a garden - it takes time, care and an understanding of what each unique flower needs to bloom. In the world of public affairs, strong community relations are everything. At the end of the day, the "public" we serve is made up of diverse communities with their own needs, concerns, and perspectives. Building positive relationships through open communication and ethical outreach isn't just good practice - it's an integral part of doing our jobs effectively.This is especially true when it comes to reaching and engaging with veteran communities. Leanna Lynch works hard to meet veterans where they are and on their terms. Making genuine efforts to understand and connect with all the communities we impact, including our nation's veterans, is crucial for credibility, trust and driving meaningful change. It's how we stay tuned into the issues that really matter to people.I'd love to hear your thoughts - what strategies have you found most effective for cultivating strong community relations in your field? Or if you've been on the receiving end as a community member, what outreach efforts have made you feel truly heard and engaged? Let's swap insights and experiences!

So excited for this next step for Licking County! Today myself and others from the Licking County Reentry Coalition Steering Committee completed our training to begin hosting a Citizen Circle monthly for Licking County. 🙌🙌🙌 Taken directly from ODRC: “Citizen Circles create partnerships that promote positive interactions, social support, and accountability for justice-involved individuals. Together, justice-involved individuals and Citizen Circle members embark on a journey of transformation to create fundamental changes in people, relationships, and communities. Citizen Circles provide a holistic and collective approach to individuals at any stage of their reentry. Many need assistance immediately upon release; however, at times others who have been released for a period of time may need specific assistance from the Circle, such as obtaining employment. Goals of Citizen Circles include: Reintegration: To support individuals with a seamless transition back to Ohio communities.Community Partnerships: Community members take an active role in developing partnerships to assist individuals.Accountability: Justice-involved individual’s responsibility and commitment to positive change.”
