post breach communications best practices

["McCrary, Barbara" <bmccrary () OSRHE EDU>]

In Oklahoma City, we have a need for a person that can speak about 45 minutes on best practices in communication 
following a data breach or vulnerability in the higher ed realm ... e.g. what are the key information points and the 
best methods for informing those who are impacted?  What is the best approach in working with media following an 
incident?  How can a public information officer communicate the situation most effectively and offer sage counsel to 
campus leadership?  Please respond, if you are or know a person with the expertise, that would be willing to perform 
this community service.  Thank you.
