Cooksey Communications

What a great week at the Texas Association of Municipal Information Officers (TAMIO) 2026 Annual Conference!

Our Public Sector Practice enjoyed connecting with Texas government communicators from across the state and sponsoring the TAMI Awards Banquet.

We were also proud to see our own Tom Bryson, vice president and Public Sector Practice Leader, lead the session, “The Horizon Watch: Anticipating and Pivoting Through Local Government Crises,” sharing insights on effective crisis communication.

Thank you to everyone who made this year's conference a success. We’re already looking forward to next year!

Congratulations to our Chairman and CEO, Colby Walton, for being named to Fort Worth Inc.'s 500 most influential people in Fort Worth for the fifth consecutive year!

An all-encompassing list, The 500 highlights top executives who wield significant influence in Tarrant County across a wide range of categories, including industry, philanthropy, nonprofits, government and public policy, economic development, professional services, education, civic affairs, arts, religion, sports and media, or within their own spheres.

We couldn't be prouder of Colby's recognition, which is indicative of his leadership that has led Cooksey to where it is today.

Cooksey would also like to congratulate our long-time clients, Hillwood Chairman Ross Perot, Jr., and President Mike Berry, on being honored as Persons of the Year by Fort Worth Inc.

Today, we pause to remember the men and women who gave everything for this country. Their courage and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

The PRSA Dallas UnSummit 2026 was an absolute success, and Cooksey was honored to not only attend but make an impact on the event!

A special congratulations to account executive Bethany Kula Moisan, who served as co-chair of the UnSummit planning committee, alongside colleagues Regan Welch and Haaris Ahmed, who also helped bring the event to life. Together, they helped coordinate experienced speakers from diverse backgrounds to lead conversations on critical industry topics such as social media, AI, media relations, internal communications, branding and crisis communications.

It was a pleasure to contribute to the PRSA Dallas Chapter’s signature annual event, connect with fellow PRSA members and gain valuable insights into the future of AI, digital communications and evolving industry trends.
