HeartBeat – Did You Know?

HeartBeat is the Agency’s “cultural” communications piece and is emailed as a pdf to staff members the first Friday afternoon of every month, Sept. to June. Did you know: 

• HeartBeat contains “good news” stories, staff accomplishments, employee status changes (new hires, position changes, title changes), birthdays, thank you notes, etc.? 
• HeartBeat submissions are due to the Communications Department by the last Monday of the month for the next month’s issue. 
• An archive of past HeartBeat issues going back two years is available on the Communications link on the Intranet? 
• Anyone can contribute to HeartBeat – especially ideas for good new stories?  
• Which reminds us…You are doing great things every day to impact families, schools, students and educators, and we need to spread that good news! That goes for any fun things that are happening in the regional offices as well—help us showcase the whole agency! We have multiple avenues to get the word out—HeartBeat, Educator Connection, website, Facebook, Twitter, AEAs Impacting Lives and Pinterest—so please let us know about the great things that are going. Any piece of good news could be turned into a blurb, photos, video or a feature story. Help us spread the good news! You can always send an email to comms@heartlandaea.org with your information. Ok, ready, set, go!
