Council for Health and Human Service Ministries

From the President

Photo of Bryan Sickbert Five years ago CHHSM retained its first ever marketing and communications director. Rebecca Wilson has become well known to many in the CHHSM community, though much of her work has been behind the scenes. Rebecca revamped CHHSM’s entire approach to electronic and print communications. She wrote and edited countless news stories and worked with many CHHSM members on their own marketing strategies. Through her efforts, CHHSM and its ministries attained a higher profile in UCC publications. She developed surveys, analyzed data, conceptualized the CHHSM Storybank, oversaw the production of podcasts and created the photomontages of CHHSM Annual Meetings.

Without question, much of the progress CHHSM accomplished in recent years would not have been possible without the strong skills and sensitivity to our work that Rebecca has provided. She has been a vital and delightful member of our CHHSM staff team. Now, Rebecca’s new company, Canticle Communications, is moving in new directions and, at the same time, CHHSM’s needs are changing. So, it is with a sense of both sadness and gratitude that I announce that CHHSM and Rebecca Wilson have decided to bring our relationship to a close at the end of June.

The name Signal Hill will be unfamiliar to many, but the name of the company’s principal and creative director, Daniel Pryfogle, is certainly well known in CHHSM circles. Daniel has served as CHHSM’s director of consulting services for several years, working with many CHHSM members in the areas of leadership and culture formation. Signal Hill is a national firm that performs a variety of consulting services for faith-based nonprofit organizations. CHHSM’s contract with Signal Hill will cover leadership formation as well as marketing and communications activities. I welcome Daniel and the Signal Hill team to this expanded role with CHHSM.
