The purpose of the Events and Public Relations Coordinator is to maintain and grow a positive image of Divine Savior Academy in both the DSA community and the greater community (Sienna) in which the campus is located. The purpose of the Events and Public Relations Coordinator is to help recruit new students, retain the ones already enrolled in the academy, and to help promote a positive culture and sense of pride among all DSA stakeholders. This will allow the gospel to be shared with more families from our local community.
The Events and Public Relations position has a cooperative relationship with the Marketing Department, Admissions Department, and school leadership. The Marketing Department will help with promotional material as needed, the Admissions Department will receive leads from the Community Relations Coordinator, and the Public Relations Department will partner with the Community Relations Coordinator in community events where promotion and help is needed. In addition, the school leadership will work closely with the Events and Public Relations Coordinator to develop a community presence that is positive and beneficial. The activities of these four departments overlap, so it is essential for them to work together to grow the DSA Family.
