I hope your week has gone well.

I have informative updates for you! Grab your favorite beverage. It's a 5 minute or less read!

In the past weeks I have been expanding the infrastructure of the Preparedness AD Council .  I welcome your feedback to all of the processes under development.

What is the PAC? We are an alliance of people who innovate imagery, audio, and messaging to promote financial, strategic, faith-inclusive preparedness.

Why is a Preparedness AD Council imperative?  In spite of all outward appearances of prosperity, the majority (63-78%) of Americans are financially, strategically unprepared. Moreover, average median wealth in African American & Latino communities is projected to decrease to zero by 2053 & 2073 respectively. For many of us, 2053 is already 2024!  The prevailing advertising industry & certain corporate entities exploit & profiteer from American unpreparedness and overconsumption. Our govt. is broke. The result? A nation now at-risk for everyone.

As Zig Ziglar said (a favorite quote) "There's not a lot you can do about the national economy but there is a lot you can do about your personal economy." - Zig Ziglar

Imagery is powerful. We consume it more than food.

"Preparedness = Power!" "Preparedness PAY$".  It's been true across the ages. A new diet of engaging, empowering, emotive messages are a peacefully aggressive way to disseminate a new cultural narrative with imagery of our making and our economic solutions.  My brand of economic solution is of course, 5-10-10-75! 

The Preparedness AD Council is a division of Perennial Preparedness NC, a sole proprietorship registered with the Secretary of State NC since 2020. I maintain sole ownership in order to preserve member privacy and safeguard our 1^st Amendment Right to Freedom of Assembly. 

There are currently three members serving as Transparency Trustees. They receive reports on membership numbers and a macro-view of 5-10-10-75™ revenue allocations. This is done to build credibility, integrity, and public trust in the Preparedness AD Council.

With your input, I endeavor to emulate the best practices of organizations such a AAA and AARP, in which members receive publications with resources and opportunities. Similar to Alignable & LinkedIn, members have full autonomy to login and network with other members of their choosing.

If you value principles of legacy, family unity, kinship community investment, and generational prosperity, with emphasis on meeting the economic empowerment needs of African American community, then you're in the right space! An imagery industry is essential to disseminating our unique cultural narratives and solutions.

Along the journey, we are going to build innovations in media that won't be possible without YOU! Welcome to the PAC. See what the future holds!

·        Preparedness AD Council Blog – This is a public eBlogger site, where I post  updates about The PAC. It’s usually a mirror of what I post in the PAC Forum, and convenient when you don’t want to login, to see what’s going on at The PAC. The Blog is a public page, so post no comments that you don’t want the world to see. Private PAC comments should be posted in the PAC Member’s Only Forum

Here’s the Flowchart of how a PAC PSA is developed. (see file attached)
