#MBPRClient Middle Tennessee Electric gave NewsChannel 5 Network reporter Kim Rafferty an inside look at the crucial work of tree trimming and proactive power management. With trees near or under electric lines being a leading cause of outages, MTE’s vegetation management team always is hard at work clearing limbs, brush and trees from electrical lines and equipment. They ensure every section of MTE’s nearly 15,000 miles of energized lines is pruned on a six-year cycle, while residential yard trees are trimmed every three years.

Today Kelly McNeely Brockman presented at the Water Professionals Leadership Academy conference sharing insights with water professionals from Tennessee and Kentucky on the power of public relations and the vital role communication plays in the industry. Thank you to our client LDA Engineering for inviting us to be part of this amazing group!

Our team had an incredible few days in Jacksonville visiting the CSX headquarters and connecting with our client and its community partners Operation Gratitude and First Responders Children's Foundation. With its dedication to those who have served and currently serve our country, CSX played a key role as a sponsor and in celebrating Military Appreciation Day at THE PLAYERS Championship. We are grateful for the opportunity to work alongside a team that is passionate about providing service to the military and first responder community and beyond.

MBPR team member and media relations pro Lydia Lenker spent quality time with Lipscomb University Communication Department’s senior capstone class to discuss setting goals and navigating the professional world as a recent graduate. Lydia gave the students a real-world perspective and encouraged them to embrace the journey.

On Employee Appreciation Day and and every day we are so thankful for our MBPR colleagues.

Our team values the dedicated time and thought that our Nashville reporters put towards local news coverage that keeps our city well informed.

You and the Nashville Post team are welcome back anytime.??

Avery Foster and Kelly McNeely Brockman attended EO Nashville’s retreat luncheon featuring a panel with Nashville Mayor Freddie O'Connell, Burke Nihill of the Tennessee Titans and Stephanie Coleman the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce. The discussion was attended by entrepreneurs and business leaders and covered Nashville’s East Bank development, the Titan’s new stadium and the city’s rapidly growing neighborhoods.

This week the McNeely Brockman Public Relations team spent two days away from our office to plan, prepare and play. We had the best time brainstorming, building for the future, learning and laughing so hard we cried. Big thanks to … ?? Our fabulous team, who worked hard to make our time together valuable and fun. Every single person on staff planned or coordinated a session, meal or activity. ?? Our amazing clients for letting us step away to grow and learn and trusting us with their stories and business goals. ?? Our families, who held down the forts at home and especially to my husband Scott who spent a big chunk of his week off helping us prep for retreat and building furniture for our new office. ? And extra thanks to The Intention Collective and Zach Montroy, 1212 Germantown and Brittany Tucker, and Germantown Inn for making this retreat our best yet. It’s not easy to hit pause on client work and life to step away, but it’s an investment in our team culture that yields priceless results. ??

Happy National Red Wear Day!?? #TeamMBPR wore red to the office in support of raising awareness about cardiovascular risk and disease, the number one killer of women. Go Red for Women and save the lives of women we love!?#WearRedDay?
