Thank you for joining us at the 10th Annual Fundraising Breakfast!
The room was full, the energy was high, and Jen Hellman, CEO/President of Goff Public, provided attendees with inspiring and practical advice for how to be an ageless communicator. Jen reminded us that each generation and person has unique communication filters, so assume good intent and ask questions.
Jen is best known for her ability to be decisive and offer courageous advice and strategy when situations are ambiguous, politically charged and high risk. She is a sought-after expert in reputation management, crisis consulting and preparedness, media relations, and strategic communications. She has spent her career helping clients navigate difficult situations, serving as a trusted, behind-the-scenes adviser on many high-profile stories and issues.
With more than 25 years of experience, Jen leads Goff Public as president and CEO, setting the strategic direction of the business and overseeing our team of public affairs and public relations professionals, while actively advising clients. Jen was named one of the Top 100 People to Know by Twin Cities Business. She is an experienced speaker, regularly presenting on industry topics. Her practical, no-nonsense advice is published locally and nationally.
Jen is active in the business and civic community. She serves on the St. Olaf Board of Regents, Saint Paul Area Chamber Board, Saint Paul Downtown Alliance Board, and Minnesota Chamber Business Services Board. With one son at college and the other a busy high schooler, Jen enjoys any opportunity to gather with her family, especially at their cabin in western Wisconsin.
