Today, we remember the thousands of people who died on September 11, 2001, and honor the first responders who ran toward the danger, always thinking of others first.

We are thinking of the families, survivors, communities, and our country, forever shaped by that day.

Twenty-five years later, may we carry forward the compassion, courage, and commitment to service that emerged in its aftermath.

Never forget.

The head honchos were killin’ it this week.

Julie was in Denver for the 2026 3CMA Annual Conference, where city and county communicators from across the country gathered. She opened the conference with “Yellow Means Go: Leading Through Communication When Silence Isn’t an Option,” a keynote based on the central message of her upcoming book: Communication is leadership, and hesitation carries risk.

She also led “Crisis Communications and Critical Incidents on Campus,” a breakout session using real-world cases to help communicators strengthen their readiness and maintain public trust during fast-moving emergencies.

And because every good travel dump needs an adorable side quest, Julie also found a tiny Frenchie service dog at the airport. 🐾

Christopher joined the Tampa Bay Area Chiefs of Police Association for a JPC-sponsored luncheon. He shared a brief case study and introduced attendees to the work we do to support public safety leaders and communicators.

Rich in life because we get to help agencies tell their stories.

Frances recently had the opportunity to teach public safety communicators at NIOA, sharing practical strategies for creating stronger, more intentional content.

Agencies, when you adapt a trend, don’t just copy the format. Connect it to your mission. Ask, “What part of our work makes us feel fortunate to serve?” The answer can help your audience see the purpose and people behind your organization.

So, what makes your agency rich in life?

The countdown is on: two weeks until Accelerate.

We’re looking forward to bringing communicators and leaders together in Charlottesville, VA, for a three-day experience built around preparation, practice, and leading when it matters most.

See you in Virginia.

Surprise! Julie is writing a book!

Not only is she writing her first book and continuing to deliver exceptional client services, but she’s also raising the bar as a leader for our team. She travels across the country, sharing her expertise and real-world experiences with industry leaders and communicators, and advancing the conversation on crisis communications.

This week, Julie is delivering a keynote at the 3CMA Annual Conference on a topic that's central to her upcoming book. She's available for keynotes and training engagements at your next conference or event.

The standards continue to rise. And Julie continues to exceed them. 🩵

Friday travel dump: Washington, D.C. this week. Denver next. ✈️

Julie Parker spent time with the U.S. Capitol Police, leading a one-day media training and a half-day crisis communications plan review. Between sessions, she also enjoyed some incredible food and D.C. views.

Next week, she’s headed to Denver for the 2026 3CMA Annual Conference.

Julie will open the conference with “Yellow Means Go: Leading Through Communication When Silence Isn’t an Option,” a keynote based on the central message of her upcoming book: Communication is leadership, and hesitation carries risk.

She’ll also lead the breakout session “Crisis Communications and Critical Incidents on Campus,” using real-world cases to help communicators strengthen their readiness, protect reliable communications channels, and maintain public trust during fast-moving emergencies.

From D.C. to Denver, the mission remains the same: helping communicators lead clearly when the stakes are high.

Christopher is using this trend to call out one of the most common social media mistakes: posting a screenshot of a press release or flyer as content.

It may be fast. But it is rarely effective.

The text becomes tiny on a phone; it isn’t engaging, and screenshots can create accessibility barriers.

Instead, we coach:
• Pull out the one thing residents need to know.
• Lead with a clear, audience-focused hook.
• Rewrite the information for the platform.
• Use a carousel, Reel, or simple graphic designed for mobile.

Now, use this trend to address common requests or misconceptions you have at your agency.

Begin with: “Can’t I just…?”

Interrupt with: “No. Next question.”

Keep it light. Keep it specific. Use the caption to explain the joke and avoid miscommunication. The goal is to educate, not alienate.

What can you accomplish with a five-hour JPC retainer?

There is no single answer, and that’s the point.

One client may need a consistent mix of social media posts. Another may want to turn department-provided footage into polished reels. A third may need to shift the month’s hours toward a press release, event, or time-sensitive communications need.

Your priorities can change from month to month. Your support can change with them.

A retainer gives you access to experienced communications professionals without locking you into the exact same deliverables every month.

Five hours. Customized around what your organization needs most right now.

Exact deliverables may vary based on project complexity, available assets, and revision needs.

Counting down the days until Accelerate next month! 🍷⛰️

We’re taking our off-site networking to the next level with a trip to Hazy Mountain Vineyards.

Think panoramic Blue Ridge views, local w**e and b**r, and the best conversations of the entire conference, all in one place.

If you haven’t locked in your spot for Accelerate yet, consider this your sign to clear your schedule. You won’t want to miss what we have planned. See you all in Virginia later this month!
