The Mackinac Policy Conference was full of movement, meaningful conversations, and the kind of in-between moments that make this event special.

Across three days, our team moved through Media Row, policy panels, client conversations, island moments, and rooms filled with business leaders, policymakers, civic voices, and partners working to shape Michigan’s future.

Thank you to the Detroit Regional Chamber for bringing together the people and ideas shaping what’s next. We’re already looking forward to next year.

Last week, 98Forward was proud to be present at Wayne State University's 21st annual PRSSA Breakfast (Wayne State PRSSA), where we continue our commitment to the next generation through the Berg Muirhead Scholarship for Public Relations Student Advancement.

As we mark 10 years of our scholarship investment in emerging talent, we remain focused on building a stronger, more representative pipeline of communicators and leaders right here in Detroit. Congratulations to our Berg Muirhead Scholars and all of this year’s awardees!

A few words can say a lot, but together, they tell a bigger story.

As we close out Women’s History Month, 98Forward collaborated with Wayne State PRSSA to amplify the voices of emerging communicators who will shape the future of our industry.

This partnership is purposeful. Because investing in the next generation of women in PR isn’t optional, it’s necessary.

And we’re proud to be part of that work.
