About the Presenter: Jake Lynch is the Director of Network Communications at the West Virginia Community Development Hub. He joined the Hub in 2015 following a 15-year career in community journalism and nonprofit communications, where from 2010 until 2014 he led the national trail development organization’s media and marketing efforts. Telling the stories of America’s trail communities was a natural progression from his work as a journalist and newspaper editor here in the United States and in his native Australia. Jake’s experience in tapping into what interests and motivates community members and leaders is being put to good use in our efforts to generate a broad and powerful narrative about the terrific community development work being done in West Virginia. Jake’s focus is very much on boosting the communications capacity of the wide network of Hub partners across the state and creating new and innovative ways to help the community development sector use communications to expand their impact.
