[CED/CD/EAT] Introducing Marketing Manager Ben Downer and Content Developer Brad Poole

[Downer, Benjamin - (bdowner)]

Good morning CEDs,

As we won't get the chance to meet this morning, I wanted to introduce myself and Brad Poole as new members of the Cooperative Extension Marketing/Communications Team.

My name is Ben Downer, and I've taken over the marketing manager role. Previously, I worked in Gila County and on the San Carlos Apache Reservation as a program coordinator with FCHS and 4-H. My time there has informed what I see as outreach priorities, but I'm excited to hear from each of you about how to best support the work happening in your office. You can reach me at bdowner at arizona.edu<mailto:bdowner at arizona.edu> or on my cell at (616) 502-8662.

Brad Poole brings 30 years of journalism experience to his role as content developer. He'll be traversing the state, writing and shooting photos that amplify the good work you and your staff are doing in the field. He's always looking for a good story so connect with him at bradpoole at arizona.edu<mailto:bradpoole at arizona.edu> or on his cell at (520) 245-8425.

Brad and I will be reaching out to each of you in the next two weeks to get a pulse of what's working if your office regarding outreach, what stories need to be told and how we can best support you and your staff. This information will be valuable as we develop a larger outreach strategy and build out our internal and external communication channels.

Thanks for the time and we look forward to getting to know each of you.
