Meet Erin Greaves

Erin Greaves is a strategic communications consultant with more than 20 years of experience helping public agencies, special districts, and nonprofit organizations communicate with clarity, strengthen public confidence, and build lasting community support. As Founder and Principal of Greaves Consulting Group, she specializes in government communications, ballot measure strategy, public outreach, and stakeholder engagement for communities across Idaho and the western United States.

Throughout her career, Erin has guided organizations through some of their most important public conversations, including infrastructure investments, public safety funding, organizational change, strategic planning, and other complex community issues. She understands the realities of public service, from limited staff and competing priorities to increasing public expectations, and develops practical communication strategies that help leaders build understanding, credibility, and informed public support.

Drawing on experience in local government, the private sector, and nonprofit organizations, Erin develops and leads integrated communications programs that connect strategy with execution. She combines public engagement, media relations, executive messaging, digital communications, branding, graphic design, video production, and storytelling to explain complex issues in ways people understand and respond to. Rather than producing individual communication pieces, Erin builds communication systems that help organizations communicate consistently, engage their communities effectively, and earn lasting public trust.

Erin has led communications and public engagement efforts for organizations and project teams whose work has earned local, state, and national recognition for excellence, creativity, innovation, and public service. She has trained elected officials, executive leadership teams, public information officers, communications professionals, and agency staff throughout the West, helping organizations strengthen their communication skills and engage more effectively with their communities. She is also a frequent speaker at state, regional, and national conferences, where she shares practical strategies for public engagement, leadership communication, and building community trust.

Erin is the creator of the Engagement Web Model™, a communications framework that helps organizations strengthen relationships with their communities through consistent, thoughtful engagement that builds credibility over time.

Whether preparing for a ballot measure, communicating a major capital project, responding to a challenging public issue, or strengthening year-round communications, Erin helps organizations replace uncertainty with understanding, build public confidence, and achieve meaningful results.
