From the President — June 2026

Let’s be Bold!
Midwest summers are short—which means we pack them with lake days, patio nights and apparently…really outstanding communications conferences.
This month, Minnesota PRSA is proud to be the host chapter, welcoming communicators from across the region to the 2026 PRSA Midwest District Conference, June 24-26. Under this year’s theme, “Bold Communicators in the Bold North,” the conference is all about the power of strategic communications to move organizations, communities and culture forward.
Over three days, attendees will explore timely conversations on AI, audience trust, media evolution, community engagement and the future of our profession. We’ll hear from dynamic keynote speakers and industry leaders from across the Midwest while creating meaningful opportunities to connect with peers from agencies, corporations, nonprofits, education and independent practice.
But beyond the sessions and speakers, this conference is about community. It’s about stepping away from the day-to-day to exchange ideas, challenge ourselves, and recharge alongside people who understand the work we do and why it matters.
If you haven’t registered yet, there’s still time—but not much. Registration closes June 10, and summer calendars fill quickly.
So my June ask is simple: join us and help us host this conference. Come learn, connect and be part of the conversation shaping the future of communications in the Midwest.

Warmly,
Grete Lavrenz, MA, APR
