About Dee Dee Becker

Chief Community Building Strategist. Writer. Story Teller. Dee Dee Becker offers a wealth of marketing, communications and PR experience which began in non-profit more than thirty years ago with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, American Diabetes Association and Sentara Healthcare (Norfolk). In 1998, she founded Becker Communications, consulting with clients in the healthcare, entertainment, transportation, education and legal sectors, including The New York Times Company, Virginia Port Authority and ESPN. As a Meta Certified Community Manager, Dee Dee’s talents include crafting and telling stories of healthcare systems and others “doing good” for the communities they serve. Nothing energizes her more than leveraging the power of social media to maximize online presence, build and engage communities and strengthen brand loyalty. Dee Dee’s expertise is rooted in communications planning, writing and management across multiple platforms, including traditional, web and social media. Her background includes planning and managing major corporate communications and PR initiatives for healthcare organizations, ranging from mergers and acquisitions to program/service line publicity and crisis management. Ask her about the time a Navy jet crashed in Virginia Beach (all survived), or when a hospital patient caused a shocking stir with a fake bomb threat – and present day, how she manages critical online coronavirus pandemic conversations for hospitals and health systems – her most powerful exercises in crisis management. When not consulting, this University of Mary Washington graduate (Class of '86) wears numerous other hats: Virginia Tech Hokie mom. Wife. Eldest of six girls. Community Manager at Meta via Pro Unlimited. Dee Dee’s passions include serving as lead admin for the Virginia Tech Parents Facebook group as well as moderator for the nationally acclaimed and award-winning Grown and Flown Parents group. She is wildly exhilarated by sharing (and commiserating in!) the wiles and trials of other “Grown and Flown” parents - and never lacks inspiration for an entertaining story.
