Monique Farmer: Leading the Charge in Communication, Advocacy

Monique Farmer, founder of Avant Solutions, was recently celebrated at the Inspire Awards Luncheon, where she was honored with the "Excellence in Business (Small-Medium) Award.

As the driving force behind Avant Solutions, Monique has consistently introduced groundbreaking tools and strategies to the Public Relations landscape. One such creation is Anvil Ready, an online communication strategy builder. Designed specifically for communication professionals, Anvil Ready offers a streamlined approach to crafting effective communication plans.

Monique's current endeavors see her shaping the future leaders in communication as an instructor at the University of Texas at Austin. In addition to this, her leadership prowess is evident in her role as the President of the PRSA Nebraska Board, where she champions best practices and advances the field of public relations.

Her commitment to advocacy and empowerment extends beyond her professional sphere. Monique proudly sits on the board for EPIC for Girls, a non-profit organization dedicated to uplifting and championing girls of color in the sports arena.

Reflecting on her career, Monique served as the director of communications for Nebraska’s largest school district, dedicated 12 pivotal years to the federal government, and honed her corporate communication skills at ConAgra Foods, now rebranded as ConAgra Brands.

Monique once mentioned in a Lozafina My Five column, "My five items are significant to my happiness." While she didn't detail these items, one can infer they might encompass passion, innovation, education, leadership, and advocacy, given her trajectory and commitments.

As we celebrate Monique Farmer's achievements and contributions, her journey serves as a reminder of the power of dedication, innovation, and advocacy.
