At Stepherson & Associates Communications (S&A), we believe stakeholder and public engagement not only builds understanding of a project’s purpose and benefit, but also lays the foundation for smart, thoughtful, and equitable decision-making. We specialize in working with organizations to plan and implement communications and public engagement efforts that are comprehensive and strategic. We’re also committed to giving back to our community.
