GFWC - Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I do to increase the publicity for my club?
One of the best ways to increase awareness of your club and its activities is to publicize your programs and projects. GFWC provides many tools to assist clubwomen in creating and implementing public relations outreach programs, including the GFWC Briefing Book, which outlines our key messages, tips on developing and pitching stories, sample press releases, and details on creating your own media kit. In addition, we continue to update our PR Kits, which clubs can distribute to members of the media.

I saw an article about GFWC in the newspaper. How do I send it to you?
We make every attempt to monitor and collecting GFWC news clips, and are always happy to receive clips from members and friends. You may send printed clips to Public Relations at GFWC Headquarters, 1734 N ST NW, Washington, DC 20036. If you see the article online, you may send a link to us via e-mail.

We have a great idea for a public relations campaign but don't know how to get started. Can GFWC help?
GFWC is glad to assist clubs in developing and implementing publicity campaigns. Send us your ideas and we will give you a list of resources to help you begin your outreach.

In addition, it's always helpful to copy GFWC on any press releases, letters to the editor, or articles that your club submits. Often, we can help achieve national publicity for your club and connect you with additional public relations resources.
