BM&A planned and implemented a campaign for the Los Angeles Conservancy’s first-ever "living museum" project. Funded by a grant from the Getty Foundation, "Curating the City: Wilshire Boulevard" turned the renowned thoroughfare into an interactive museum. We handled all media relations, created new alliances and partnerships for the Conservancy, brought media sponsors on board, and worked closely with all participating organizations.

Working with the development company Hollywood/Highland Partners to generate community goodwill, we created a "Hollywood Flag Design Contest" that was a collaboration of local schools, the Hollywood Chamber and the legendary Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. The winning design was made into a flag and unveiled during a flag-raising ceremony that generated considerable media attention.

BM&A created a quarterly newsletter called "Public Health Outlook" for Public Health Foundation Enterprises, in which one-on-one interviews with public health luminaries were featured. Barbara’s interviews included Dr. William Foege, credited with the eradication of smallpox and former senior advisor to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation; Dr. Fernando Torres-Gil, the nation's first-ever Assistant Secretary on Aging; and Dr. Lester Breslow, Professor & Dean Emeritus of UCLA’s School of Public Health, among others.

They were four of the luminaries honored at the American Jewish Committee Corwin dinners over the years, for which BM&A handled all of the Public Relations.

Working closely with the Los Angeles Unified School District, BM&A produced Honda’s essay competition. Named for veteran broadcaster Mario J. Machado, the contest awarded cash prizes to winning students. In addition, we produced the annual awards luncheon and created and implemented a full-blown Public Relations campaign for the project.

In order to build awareness for Parents Anonymous® Inc., we created National Parent Leadership Month, which serves to empower parents and decrease child abuse and neglect. BM&A also developed a comprehensive kit consisting of various tools to assist organizations in creating and implementing a variety of planned events, programs and media outreach.

As part of a campaign to educate the public about the many facets of public health, Barbara co-produced a series of two-minute educational and entertaining radio programs that included "A Trip Down Your Toilet," "Myth of the Tooth Worms," and "The Great London Fog."

BM&A worked with the LA County Area Agency on Aging Advisory Council to produce this annual conference. In addition to booking the keynote speaker and creating themes for workshops, we added a fashion show to the event, and handled all Public Relations and Marketing efforts.
