The Herd Strategies social media theme for July is #PRorNah, highlighting local leaders across the communications field and answering the question many organizations have asked: to PR or not to PR? This week we’re highlighting public relations and marketing expert Lisa Sirkin Vielee, president of Well Done Marketing.

It is an honor to be a guest blogger for Herd Strategies during Pride Month. I love the opportunity to be involved in many communities and the LGTBQIA+ community is one of my ultimate favorites.

We conclude our #Pride theme with a mission-forward organization whose initiatives should be on the hearts and minds of all. Indiana Youth Group is a local organization that strives to provide youth safer spaces to build self-confidence, explore individualism and develop friendships within the LGBTQ+ community. Belinda Drake is at the forefront of this initiative, leading the charge as Director of Youth Services.
