The Nation's Largest Day of Service
I served on the organizing team for the 9/11 Day event in Cleveland, one of more than 20 cities participating nationwide. My responsibilities included crafting the event script, coordinating with VIPs, managing media relations, and executing follow-up PR strategies. The event garnered media coverage from outlets such as Spectrum News and Freshwater Cleveland. More info on 9/11 Day.
INNOVATIVE PITCH for the chamber of commerce
This example highlights how I think creatively to communicate initiatives. I learned about a development project called 'Intro' that the chamber was financing and promoting. After researching architecture blogs and websites, I discovered a platform that highlights mass timber projects globally. I reached out, shared details about the project, provided images, and invited them to an upcoming webinar. As a result, Think Wood featured the project: Think Wood - Intro. They continue to follow and share updates about the project in their newsletters, extending its visibility and impact for the Greater Cleveland Partnership, the nation's largest chamber of commerce.
Leadership Announcements
I have extensive experience leading communications for significant organizational changes and events, such as leadership transitions. For example, when the Greater Cleveland Partnership announced its next President and CEO, I managed the communication strategy to ensure a smooth and impactful announcement. This included crafting press materials, coordinating with media outlets, and aligning messaging across stakeholders. The announcement received widespread coverage, positioning the organization as a leader in economic development during this pivotal moment. Read the full story here and listen to a podcast.
