For more than 35 years, Mary Ann McCauley, ABC, has assisted organizations with plain talk, strategic approaches and practical solutions. A former journalist, she worked with an Iowa daily newspaper and owned and operated a community newspaper in Southeastern Kansas.
Prior to forming her own consultancy in 1987, Mary Ann was a communication manager for United Technologies Communications Company, Centerre 
Bancorporation, The American Nurses Association and Hallmark Cards. She began her consulting career as a vice president with Brum and Anderson Public Relations, Minneapolis. Since then, she has provided strategic communication counsel to clients in the financial services, telecommunications, electronics, health care, legal, manufacturing, nonprofit, and residential and commercial real estate industries.
Located in Minnesota, Mary Ann is delighted to have the opportunity to provide in-person training to complement the online program at AtEaseWithTheMedia.com. “Like Eric, I have long believed that the concept of mindlessly repeating messages is outdated,” she says. “In an age of greater organizational engagement and transparency, we should be helping organizations communicate, not just transmit.”
