New Staff at Trailnet: The MarComms Team

With the New Year comes some brand new faces. Meet Chantal and Madyson!

Chantal Incandela, Marketing and Communications Director (on the left), and Madyson Weber, Social Media Coordinator (on the right) are Trailnet’s newest team members, and together they form Trailnet’s Marketing and Communications team. There’s a good chance you’ll see them at various events throughout the year! A little bit about our newest employees:

A passionate reader and writer, Chantal thrives on dissecting the customer journey and takes an almost obsessive delight in the art of wordsmithing. She takes public transportation to work most days (shout out to the 73 bus!) and loves admiring St. Louis’ architecture on the journey into the office. 

A member of Trailnet’s leadership team, Chantal leads the strategic vision and execution of Trailnet’s communications and marketing strategy to tell success stories, promote events and rides, and educate the public about issues and current events related to Trailnet’s work. She is no stranger to the non-profit and marcomms world; before coming to Trailnet, she was the Press & Communications Manager at Opera Theatre of Saint Louis. 

Madyson is nothing short of a superhero, seamlessly keeping her finger on the pulse of viral trends and top-notch content while managing a wedding and event content creation business, a mobile spray tanning venture, AND motherhood to an adorable six-month-old.  

As Social Media Coordinator, Madyson creates content to promote Trailnet’s initiatives, campaigns, programs, impact, and priorities. In addition, she monitors all of our social media channels and keeps up to date on the ever-changing social media landscape and algorithm. With a background in environmental science, thorough knowledge of social media,  and a deep love for all things sustainability, Madyson is an incredible fit at Trailnet!

You’re likely to catch Chantal and Madyson at a number of Trailnet events, and they look forward to meeting you. Feel free to reach out and say hello when you see them! 

Upcoming St. Louis Mayoral Forum to Focus on Transportation Infrastructure

Tags: , , ,

A collaborative of St. Louis organizations focused on pedestrian, cyclist, and public transportation issues — Trailnet, Paraquad, the St. Louis Coalition to Protect Cyclists & Pedestrians (CP2), the St. Louis Urbanists, and Transform 314 — will host a Transportation Infrastructure Mayoral Forum on Monday, Feb. 10, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at Paraquad’s office, 5240 Oakland Ave. The forum will provide mayoral candidates an opportunity to share their vision and address questions about the city’s mobility infrastructure. 

“Streets are the foundation of our communities and deeply connected to our quality of life,” said Cindy Mense, CEO of Trailnet. “How we travel shapes how we live, and the approach St. Louis’ next mayor takes to address the daily mobility needs of our residents will have a profound impact on everyone. We’re deeply grateful to Paraquad, CP2, the St. Louis Urbanists, and Transform 314 for collaborating with us on this forum, and giving the community the chance to hear from the candidates.” 

The collaborative will explore a full range of issues including planning, design, funding, building, and maintenance with the candidates to assess their vision of providing quality, accessible, and connected transportation infrastructure. Members of the St. Louis community are encouraged to attend. Tickets are not required. 

Each mayoral candidate will have five minutes for opening remarks, followed by two questions from the hosting organizations, and then questions from the community. A moderator and timekeeper will ensure all participants have adequate time to address questions. 

All four mayoral candidates — Michael Butler, Andrew Jones, Tishaura Jones, and Cara Spencer — have confirmed their attendance.
