BRANDING GUIDELINES Federations of Houston Professional Women has relatively new branding in the Greater Houston area. A vital part of our communications strategy is ensuring we fulfil our promise to connect and transform the networking experience through recognition and building pathways of opportunities for our members. Working together, we can successfully establish FHPW as an organization that is worth the investment of time and money to deliver on our promise. Branding is a vital and important communication tool. A professional and recognizable image can help ensure that FHPW has an image associated with excellence. Correct and consistent use of an identity image is critical to building and protecting an organizational brand reflective of FHPW’s mission, vision, value, and purpose. Please ensure that all of our communication reflects positively on FHPW through consistent use of our branding materials. Email Addresses Using an organizational email address, helps to maintain consistent communications and to reduce the need for constantly updating materials. Using an FHPW.org email address on all media materials to include business cards, promotional items, and print, digital, web, and social media, will help to shape the professional image. For all Executive Board members, the Technology Advisor will setup an FHPW.org email address that forwards to a personal email address.
