Principal Jennifer Nentwig, APR+M, Senior Business Analysts Kalee Cummings and Melanie Moore and Videographer Daniel Ceruti are headed to this year’s Municipal Management Association of Northern California (MMANC) Annual Conference in Yosemite from September 27–30.
“MMANC brings together some of the most innovative and forward-thinking leaders in local government,” said Jennifer. “We look forward to connecting with attendees, sharing ideas and gaining new perspectives that help us better support the agencies and communities we serve.”

The session will explore how to navigate your first 100 days when stepping into a communications role, whether as a new public information officer or as staff newly tasked with these responsibilities.
The team looks forward to connecting with emerging and established local government leaders while supporting professional development opportunities that help strengthen the profession and move local government forward.
