Whitney Hicks

As a member of the executive board of IU Kokomo's academic journal, I communicated effectively with staff members and authors, edited the entirety of the journal’s original manuscript, and met our strict publication deadlines. I also conceptualized and wrote a house style guide for future editors of the journal.

At IMPA, I partner with leaders across multiple departments to develop both internal and external strategic messaging. I also collaborate with leaders in our 61 member communities to produce high-quality content that communicates utility data to rate payers and legitimizes IMPA’s mission. I monitor industry news to shape the topics that IMPA addresses through a variety of communication channels. In addition to producing written content, I also design each piece to ensure that visual storytelling remains consistent with what is communicated through text. My collaboration with dozens of leaders requires high editorial standards and adherence to a busy content calendar, all of which I manage independently.
