Summer is in full swing at The Impact Group, and we kicked June off with an office cookout to open up our patio, slow down, and spend some time together as a team.

We are grateful for our continued partnership with Stow-Munroe Falls School District. This month, we hosted a strategic planning workshop with their board and cabinet team, and we also welcomed their cabinet into our office as they prepared for the coming school year. It is an honor to support their team in this work, and we look forward to seeing where this planning takes them in the year ahead.

We also had the opportunity to work with Vandalia-Butler City Schools this month, helping their Leadership Team develop action steps and implementation tools to bring their strategic plan to life. It has been rewarding to see their vision take shape into practical next steps.

Beyond our work with individual districts, we also had the chance to connect with the wider school communications community this month. Doreen Osmun, director of strategic services, and Phil Herman, partner at The Impact Group, spoke at the BASA Communications Workshop, where they hosted a Tips and Tools for Effective Media Engagement session. It is always a privilege to speak at these workshops, catch up with familiar faces, and meet new ones along the way.
