• When starting to plan your activity consider approaching clubs and organizations to which you already belong

• Whether choosing a location, community group, publication or media outlet, consider which are most likely to reach women of childbearing age and their families

• When selecting an activity, choose one that is easy for you to do, for example:
• If you are a member of a civic club, display preterm birth materials at all of your community events
• If you are a newsletter editor, make a commitment to keeping preterm birth issues visible in your newsletter

• Identify those in your community who could present a personal story about a preterm birth experience as part of your activity

• The more people you recruit to participate, the more successful you will be
