Located along the shores of Puget Sound, Edmonds is a vibrant waterfront community known for its natural beauty, strong sense of community, and small-town charm. Just north of Seattle, Edmonds offers stunning views of the Olympic Mountains, a walkable downtown filled with locally owned shops and restaurants, and easy access to beaches, parks, and ferry transportation. With a blend of urban amenities and Pacific Northwest character, Edmonds provides residents and visitors with a welcoming and connected community atmosphere.

Greetings from Spokane, Washington! Looking forward to presenting on turning a bond failure into a success on Day 1, then learning from everyone else. My NSPRA calendar is already full, double- triple- and sometimes quadruple-booked. Will try and clone myself before the conference begins to ensure I can make it to every session I'd like.

From just outside Philly, the City of Brotherly Love, and the school district that brought you Kobe Bryant, I'm looking forward to learning with my PenSPRA and NSPRA colleagues at this year's National Seminar!

So excited to connect with colleagues in this work - both those I know and those I'll meet in 2026! Looking forward to the learning and networking with people who "get it."

I'm hoping not to melt into a puddle. 🫠 This Northern Minnesota girl does not do well in heat and humidity. 😅

I wasn't able to attend the NSPRA conference in person the last time it was in the NO because I was transitioning jobs, so it's long overdue. I'm so excited to visit one of my favorite cities and spend time with amazing communicators from across the country as well as be recognized as the Texas Communicator of the Year!

Binghamton, NY, an hour south of Syracuse and over 3 hours northwest of NYC, is the Carousel Capital of the World. Local philanthropist and Endicott-Johnson Shoe Founder George F. Johnson donated six carousels to local parks. To this day, children (and adults) can ride the carousels for free, as he intended. Home of the "spiedie," Binghamton is the beloved hometown of "Twilight Zone" creator Rod Serling and also the birthplace of IBM.
