You just don't get to learn and hear from an entire news ecosystem for 3 days in one place that often; stunning location & conductorship from Claire Stuchbery and the LINA: Local & Independent News Association people : ) Some stuff that will stick with me for a while: hearing from Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) on media diversity measurement in 2024, i.e. the heart of the advocacy work by LINA and the Digital Publishers Alliance; defining + tracking impact and how do newsrooms challenge the statu quo; experimenting for new revenue streams when you're a one-wo/man news operation; learning about the practical use of Solutions Journalism at Missing Perspectives and Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC); discovering micro media reporting models like *PS Media and debating the ins and outs of ad-based, subscriptions, donations & memberships models...

Board to Board

From the "Home of Innovation" Zone 33 #ICA Companion Clubs like IMPACT and others not only help Rotary clubs grow but they also serve a great purpose in allowing people who would normally leave your club a chance to continue their Rotary journey. Remember retention starts with choices. Every year members leave Rotary because life was getting in the way of them attending your Rotary meetings. A new job, changing schedules, or other commitments shouldn’t mean the end of their Rotary membership. With Companion Clubs, your members can stay connected to service on THEIR terms. Rotary is about service, not restrictions. Let’s give members choices when they join and options before they leave. #33ICA #impactonrotary #CompanionClubs #FlexibleMembership #RotaryForLife

Today's staff feature is all about the MBCIA Board Chair: Robby Fountain! Here are a few things about the Chairman: ❓What motivated you to become a board member of MBCIA, and what do you hope to achieve during your tenure? I've always been committed to ensuring Macon remains a business-friendly community that thrives. As a board, our mission is to leave things better than we found them. We've made great strides in creating jobs and opportunities, and I’m proud of the progress we've achieved. My goal is to keep building on that momentum and continue driving success for our community. ❓How do you envision MBCIA's role in shaping the future of Macon's economic landscape and community development? MBCIA plays a crucial role in driving the future of Macon. This year alone, we’ve seen major expansions and brought billions of dollars into the community through strategic investments. Our work directly creates jobs and opportunities, and we're not slowing down. I see us continuing to shape the economic landscape, fostering growth, and bringing even more opportunities to Macon. ❓Please share a significant achievement or project of MBCIA that you are particularly proud of being a part of. Every project I've been a part of has been special. Each one brings something unique to the table, with every deal having its own distinct qualities. I've been here a long time and have seen many companies come into Macon, each adding something valuable to the community. ❓Share an inspiring story or experience that demonstrates the positive influence of MBCIA on a business or individual in Macon. Our work has a positive impact on a lot of people, and our success benefits the community in many ways. Our efforts have enriched lives and made a real difference for many. I’m proud of the impact we’ve made, especially through our county’s efforts. ❓If you could use one emoji to describe your experience as a board member of MBCIA, which one would it be and why? I’d pick the thumbs-up emoji 👍. It’s a symbol of getting the job done right—a reminder that our board has delivered, and we’re proud of the results. ❓If MBCIA hosted a talent show featuring its board members, what talent would you showcase on stage? Passion—that's what I can bring to the table as far as talent goes. From day one, the Authority has been my passion. Our goal has always been to leave it better than we found it, and we never stray from our mission. We know exactly what we're here to do.

The IOIC conference in Manchester was a great opportunity to continue my professional development in the comms space. I specifically enjoyed the EDI panel, and learned so much from the speakers. Hearing from comms teams on stage and in the audience about the real challenges they face has given me greater clarity on how Prologue Communications can better support our clients. Some of the key themes that came out of the discussion were: - How do we overcome change fatigue and resistance within our audiences? - How can comms teams be more strategic than responsive in their function? - How to build a culture of trust? - How do organisations communicate their perspective on global issues? - How can comms teams better handle the volume of information needing to reach colleagues? I highly recommend my network to join the IOIC, and be part of the conversation, and hopefully I'll see you at another event in the near future. #comms #IOIC #change #changecommunication

Our Duncan was our man on the ground at yesterday's Institute of Internal Communication conference in Manchester. We asked him what his top three takeaways from the day were: 1. Give your employees autonomy. janet leighton Director of Happiness, Timpsons Limited explained how they operate an ‘Upside Down’ Management structure so all their retail colleagues have licence to run the retail outlets in the want as long as it leads to strong customer service. And to know they have the full support of the rest of the business.   2. Capture the diversity of voice. Ian MacArthur, Director Good Employment Charter talked about the importance of accommodating diverse working styles and the needs of different generational types.   3. Constantly ask yourself: ‘What’s the point in doing this activity or piece of communication?’ Northern Trains, Luke Pearce CIIC, Employee Experience Manager reminded us that understanding the status quo through data and research is easy but ‘Taking it, communicating and acting on it is the hard bit. What happens next is the real crunch.’ #InternalCommunications #EmployeeEngagement
