AUDIENCE COMPOSITION SHIP

PROGRAM

How can we keep local boards and commissions informed about the value of the SHIP program?

> Commission turnover and term limits, we often have a group of newly elected officials who don’t understand the programs or the need for affordable housing

> For action at the state level, it must be a priority at the local level

> The SHIP program needs to make its way into their legislative priorities

How can we make the housing program important to individual legislators so that they will take that message to legislative leadership for funding?

What is the importance of creating a solid brand for SHIP to aid in our awareness efforts?

What are the best, most cost effective communication tools and resources that we can use to spread accurate, insightful, and interesting information about SHIP to our target audience?

What kind of events or experiences should we be creating to nurture participation by elected officials and recognize them for their support?

What role does branding play on successfully marketing the SHIP program?

MARKETING 101Establish the what’s in it for me angle

> Elected officials are eager to support and promote successes> We must make the successes easy to understand and share> Social and digital media are the strongest sharing media in our

marketing arsenal

MARKETING 101Develop the brand

> Promise, Position, and Proposition need to be clearly defined or our message and brand will become muddy

> Strong brands are at the core of strong messages

Governor Vetoed 12 (just think we can put the number).

Governor signed a $70 billion state budget after $142.7 million in vetoes

Charter schools: Receive $55.2 million for construction and maintenance. USF Heart Health Institute: $6.9 million for the institute survives Scott’s veto pen. People who oppose tax hikes: Budget includes no new or increased taxes. Public television: Cut by Scott last year, spared in 2012.

State workers: No general pay raise for state workers. Last across-the-board raise came in 2006. State universities: Funding cuts of $300 million; uncertainty over tuition increases.

Governor Scott’s Priority: Job Creation and Economic Growth Agenda into law which included 1 billion in funding to K-12.

Interesting bills that failed:

Texting While Driving Ban (Failed). Would have allowed police to tack on a ticket for texting to motorists pulled over for other driving offenses.

Food Stamps (Failed). Would have prohibited people from using food stamps at strip clubs or casinos or to buy junk food

Gaming (failed). Several bills failed including ones that would have allowed three high end casinos in South Florida, shut down or regulated Internet cafes, and allow dog tracks to stop racing greyhounds but continue running card rooms and other types of gambling

Interesting bills that passed: Private Ads on State Trails (Passed) Private advertisements will be allowed on certain state greenway and trial facilities or property

Governor Victory –A $223 million economic incentives package with $120 million in tax breaks – including “back to school” sales tax holiday and doubling of the corporate income tax exemption

I would take out part about still pending and make this just about numbers.

#DontDoubleMyRate Social Media Guide| FLORIDA Need to Know: How a Stafford Increase Would Impact Your State The Center for American Progress and Campus Progress released new reports that detail what an increase in the interest rate on Stafford student loans would mean for several states. If Congress doesn’t act, the interest rate on these loans will double—from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent—on July 1. These reports paint a vivid picture of the impact an interest rate hike would have on young people, who are already dealing with a high unemployment rate, large amounts of student debt and changes to education funding and college costs. Also included are testimonials from students and family members who depend on federal education loans. Nationwide, over 7 million student borrowers would be affected by the rate doubling.
