Myrna Flynn, Principal
Nonprofits face countless challenges. Yet inherent in each sits a compelling narrative that, when communicated well, elevates an obstacle to an opportunity.
I'm an enterprise communications and public affairs executive with more than two decades of experience designing such opportunities. I've led brand strategy, crisis management, executive communications and stakeholder engagement across nonprofit, higher education, media, and mission-driven organizations. Operating at the intersection of leadership, governance, and reputation, I've advised boards and senior executives, built high-performing teams, often from the ground up, and aligned communications strategy with institutional growth, fundraising performance, and long-term mission sustainability.
The high points of my career share one commonality: I arrived at each peak after being asked to craft something impactful, to elicit from one person a desire to respond to a prompt set before them. I relish these kinds of challenges because they demand quality, accentuate virtue and result in good. I started Montis Strategic Communications to advance values of organizations that prioritize this kind of consequential excellence.
Told the right way, a story shapes the human heart. Stories produced in partnership with Montis shape the future.
