Meet Mindy Hamlin
ROSA has a great story to tell, and Mindy Hamlin, our first Communications Associate, has come on board to help us tell it. Drawing on her 25 years of experience in public relations, storytelling, and reputation management, Mindy will guide ROSA’s communication efforts, including writing our newsletter and launching a new social media program. She will also grow recognition of ROSA as the organization created by the offshore wind development and fishery industries to advance collaborative, science-backed research on the effects of offshore wind on fish and fisheries.
Prior to launching her consultancy, Hamlin Communications, she was the director of communications at Raleigh-Durham International Airport and has worked with airports, colleges and universities, and government agencies across the country.
