The right mix of community investment and communications strategy can drive positive sentiment, earned media, and measurable impact. For organizations like the Milwaukee Brewers, community engagement has become a strategic driver of both local goodwill and recognition. By investing in initiatives – both financially and with volunteer time – like youth clinics, hospital visits, veteran partnerships, and citywide murals, they’ve built a reputation rooted in authenticity and connection. These efforts have not only resonated locally but also attracted significant media coverage, amplifying the team’s community story.
Hosted by Leslie Stachowiak, Senior Director of Strategic Communications for the Milwaukee Brewers and seasoned communicator, this one-hour virtual roundtable will explore how communications leaders across industries can harness community engagement to strengthen organization reputation. We’ll look at how localized storytelling builds trust, how creative and inclusive campaigns deepen ties, and how those same efforts can cascade into broader narratives.
We welcome CCOs, VPs, and Directors of Communications to request an invitation to join this roundtable discussion.

Organizations today are navigating economic volatility, social change, and rapid technological disruption, and as a result, trust has become the ultimate currency. Transparent communication, both internally and externally, isn’t optional anymore. It’s a strategic imperative. Yet, striking the right balance between openness and organizational risk can be challenging.
Nicky McHugh, Global Head of Reputation and Crisis and Communications Governance at Schneider Electric, will guest host this conversation, exploring:
Why This Matters Now
- Internally: Employees want timely and honest information, especially during major changes. When communication is inconsistent or incomplete, confidence in leadership and culture can suffer.
- Externally: Customers, partners, and other stakeholders expect visibility into how organizations are responding to uncertainty. Gaps in communication can create confusion, weaken brand perception, and make it harder to influence the narrative.
What We’ll Explore
- How to communicate authentically when you don’t have all the answers.
- The role of internal communications in reinforcing external credibility.
- Ways to maintain trust during uncertainty and change.
