Yesterday was a milestone for Workman Communications Group as we help the Mizzou Greek Alliance change the narrative about the problem of hazing in college fraternities. Our bylined commentary article about the new efforts underway at Mizzou to stamp out excessive hazing appeared in three of the four largest newspapers in Missouri on the same Sunday: the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the Springfield News-Leader and the Columbia Daily Tribune. Effective outreach to traditional news media with persuasive messaging continues to be key critical to powerful public relations.

St. Louis' highly innovative biotech industry needs an equally innovative local educational system to nurture future generations of plant scientists and sustain this critical industry. A thought leadership article I crafted for The Greren House Venture and recently placed in the St. Louis Business Journal provides several ideas on how our education system can join forces to make a carrer in plant science attractive to today's school-age kids.

Bylined commentary articles published in trade journals are a great way to build professional visibility and credibility for a leader in any industry.

RSVPs received for this event are already ahead of last year's attendance

When a century-old manufacturing company is sold, the long-range implications are usually not good for employees, customers and other stakeholders.
