Last week, the Capital Communicators Group resumed its monthly lunches with a presentation about "Blogs, Social Networking Sites, and More: How to Use New Media Tools in Your Communications Outreach."
After a presentation like that, how could we not start a blog?
As we start this blog, the three CCG officers will be posting entries:
-- President Robin Ferrier
-- Vice President and Treasurer Joe Balintfy
-- CCG Founder Mark Oswell.
We also encourage you to make comments on what we say. And if you're a CCG member with a good idea for a post on any communications topic, please send it to us to post on your behalf. (With enough high-quality posts, we may ask you to post directly.)
So what will this blog be? Posts debating communications issues, posts about upcoming lunches, posts with information from past lunches, posts about current events that relate to communications topics... So basically, all things CCG.
During the last lunch, one of our presenters said the average number of readers for any blog is 1. By having three contributors, we know we've already beat the average, but I have to admit, I'd like to crush that average. So please, start reading and keep reading. And let us know what you think.
-- Robin

About CCG
The Capital Communicators Group (CCG) is a Washington, DC-based informal network of Public Affairs, Public Relations, Media and Communications professionals who meet once a month for lunch and discussion.
In the age of faxes, phones and e-mail (and now blogs!), a lot of our work is done indirectly and impersonally. CCG is an informal, inexpensive and invaluable avenue to meet face-to-face.
Started by Mark Oswell, CCG lunches are designed to be a helpful means to network, exchange ideas, learn more about other aspects of our field and share experiences. CCG has one lunch per month at various locations. Each lunch is planned to have guest speakers address various PA/PR subjects. If you'd like to speak or have a topic idea, please let us know.
The more than 800 CCG members work for various government agencies, institutions, corporations, associations and the media. There are no annual dues, just the price of lunch, usually around $25. Mostly we meet at metro-accessible venues downtown where 30-40 of us can have a quiet area to ourselves.
If you're interested in becoming a member, email us.
Currently, CCG is being run by President Robin Ferrier and Vice President and Treasurer Joe Balintfy. Thanks for your interest and hope to see you soon!
