Industry Awareness & Editorial Committee

The Industry Awareness and Editorial Committee enhances the visibility and understanding of private capital among media, stakeholders, governments, and the public. By illustrating the value and impact of private capital, this committee aims to foster a positive perception and greater awareness of the industry.

CVCA’s Industry Awareness and Editorial Committee members meet quarterly and during special sessions to provide essential tools, research, and resources that advance the committee’s mission. They play a crucial role in enhancing public awareness and contributing to strategic communication plans, participating in media relations, ad creation, and guiding educational content. Members facilitate new connections, offer strategic feedback, provide resources, and assist in special projects that benefit the private capital industry.

The Strategic Communications Subcommittee, established under the Industry Awareness and Editorial Committee, is comprised of communications, public relations, community, and marketing professionals from member organizations. This subcommittee proactively develops, executes, and monitors strategic communications initiatives, including media monitoring and reputational management, shaping public perception of private capital investment and ensuring that key industry messages are effectively conveyed to various audiences.
