This includes serving as the program’s media point of contact, facilitating team interviews, tracking media hits, and pitching TARC to national, regional, and local media.

· Draft and issue program-related press releases and media advisories.

· Compose and organize remarks and run of show for program finals in conjunction with AIA speechwriter and TARC program staff.
