Cultural public relations firm Blue Water Communications announced a change of leadership in the new year.

On Jan. 1, 2023, Stephanie Elton, a board member with the Toledo Press Club, will assume the role of president of Blue Water after previously serving as the organization’s vice president and director of client services. She will lead the agency’s dedicated team that specializes in strategic communications for museums, architecture and destinations.

Lynnette Werning, APR, SPP, Blue Water’s current president, will continue in her pivotal role as founder, spearheading key projects focused on client service, strategy and new business development.

“Stephanie is an exceptionally talented public relations expert. From the moment we met 10 years ago, I knew I wanted her to be part of Blue Water’s future,” said Werning. “I wouldn’t make this transition without being 100% certain of the team’s readiness, and with Stephanie at the helm I have full confidence that our clients will be in excellent hands. I can’t wait to see how she reimagines this next chapter for Blue Water.”

“Blue Water has an incredible roster of museum and architecture clients stretching from Hawai‘i to Virginia with inspiring stories to tell,” said Elton. “We’re grateful for the trust they place in us as their communications partner, and I look forward to carrying on the legacy of Blue Water that Lynnette has built with such care.”
