I became an advocate and a collaborator as she sought to interest others in making this dream come true. With support from Frank Karel, Joan Hollendonner and Vicki Weisfeld of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, an interdisciplinary team was convened to answer the question,‘‘What should every nonprofit executive know about communications in order to leverage his or her work?’’ A theoretical framework was designed, a workshop model was crafted, and templates for a strategic communication plan were created. Janel, Tamar Abrams and I took the model on the road and worked with RWJF grantees and others to test and refine that model.  \nThis book is built on the core principles of the Radiant Communications model—mission driven, audience focused, and action oriented.  \nIn the 10 years since Janel’s death, our model has evolved, and the training team has grown.
