About Barry Morris

As a Senior Regional Communications professional, I provide public affairs leadership, marketing, and strategic and crisis communications for 19 locations across the Southeast region. I have over 16 years of experience in creating and coordinating communications campaigns, using digital and social media channels to inform and engage various audiences, and liaising with national, international, and Department of Defense agencies. I hold an Executive Certificate in Nonprofit Leadership from Duke University, a Master of Arts in Technology and Communication from UNC Chapel Hill, and an Advanced Social Media Strategy (ASMS) certification from Syracuse University. I am passionate about supporting the USO\'s mission of strengthening America\'s military service members by keeping them connected to family, home, and country. I am also committed to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace, and have recently completed a certificate program from USF on this topic.
