Version 1.0 — Updated October 2025
The Core Marketing Playbook System is designed to give every member, volunteer, or partner a clear, confident, and consistent way to represent The Core of Volunteers in any situation — from community events and conferences to government meetings and media interviews.
These playbooks turn every interaction into a Digital Handshake — a human-to-human connection powered by transparency, empathy, and trust.
