Meet the Board: Tara Lefave Stred

Where do you work and what is your title?

What is your Twitter/X handle? 

@tmlboston

 

Briefly summarize your background. What kind of industry/clients do you work with?

I have been in tech PR for over 20 years working both on corporate and agency sides. I focus on mostly enterprise and start up technology clients. 

 

Describe what you do for PR Club. 

This year is my first year on the Board and I am working on the Program Committee. 

 

Name your top three favorite things about PR. 

  1. Client relations and helping clients implement a successful PR strategy.
  2. Event management – I love watching ideas come to life!
  3. Supporting the Boston PR community

 

Do you have a childhood moment when everyone knew you’d be a communications specialist?

When I was in 6th grade I wanted to be a sports broadcaster (play-by-play) for the Boston Red Sox.  This was at a time when women were not prevalent in sports broadcasting. Instead of going into sports journalism in college I took a leap of faith and studied PR, and the rest is history!

 

What is your top getaway destination? 

My favorite place to visit get away is the Maine coast. I love everything about it from the food to the beaches. But my bucket list for travel is long. I’d like to complete my goal of visiting all the MLB ballparks (Pittsburg is next!)  I’m halfway there at 15 out of 30.  I’d also love to visit Montana and Copenhagen very soon.

 

If you could take a client to any restaurant in Boston where would you go?
