May 26, 2020 – Saint Petersburg, FL. Summit Exercises and Training LLC (SummitET®), a Preparedness Solutions Company®, announces the launch of a new platform giving organizations the opportunity to host in-person or virtual strategic communications workshops.
The platform provides communications professionals access to resources, tools, and twenty-six strategic communications workshops.

Key benefits include:
Supports the wider organizational strategy by augmenting communication professionals’ plans and processes.
