34. Public Relations for Public Servants with Tonya McKenzie

Public servants have an enormous need for positive public relations! "I feel like they get elected and then forget who got them there," said Tonya McKenzie, founder of Sand & Shores, based in Redondo Beach, CA. She is a public relations and leadership consultant, specializing in civic, law enforcement, and nonprofit organizations. She is also a trauma survivor and storyteller with the desire to have a powerful effect on real lives.
