Melissa draws on over 20 years of experience in project management, public relations, public process facilitation, web development and media relations to provide Confluence clients with stellar products and services. Her extensive public-involvement experience in northeastern Wyoming ranges from the reconstruction of Sheridan’s historic Main Street to a grassroots public outreach process to revitalize a declining business district to a community-wide transportation plan, among other projects. She excels at public workshop facilitation; production of collateral materials, including websites, surveys, fact sheets and exhibits; and the coordination of extended citizen participation processes to foster informed participation in proposed projects.
