Applying Communications as a Management Function
Join us as we chat with Laura Runkle of Virginia & Maryland American Water and Bebe Schaefer of UOSA.
As a communicator who progressed into a utility leadership role, Laura will share how communications advance the utility’s operations and finance goals, while Bebe will offer insights into what it takes to build a communications program from scratch.
Whether you’re in a leadership role at your organization or in the field, come learn how to build trust with the power of communications and engagement.
