I am so excited to introduce you to Leona Dalavai Scott. She is a content creator, founder and president of JEP Marketing Communications in North Texas. Having worked for professional and trade associations for most of her professional career, she is committed to using content as a way to build membership value to attract, convert and retain members and customers. She recently published The C.O.N.T.E.N.T. Solution, a step-by-step workbook on how to use content to drive membership through goal setting and planning. When she is not working, she enjoys spending time with her husband and three daughters in Texas. Her favorite hobbies include cooking Indian food (yum!), cruising the bike trails in her neighborhood, and reading. The thing that I absolutely love about Leona is that in our talk, it wasn't just about content being important, but actually how to make it easy to do, and that's really important for organizations that are juggling a lot of balls and needing to find ways to do things that don't take a lot of time, energy, and staff resources.

I hope you enjoy this conversation with Leona!

She's a trusted resource at the other end of an email or phone call who knows the answer, or can find the answer, when it's not clear what to do next in your approach.
She's a planner of systems and driver of progress that helps your organization achieve stretch goals.
She's a gifted facilitator of conversation, collaboration, and constructive growth.
