Topic:

"Firefighters, Sales People & Superheroes: The Expanding Roles of Today’s PR Professional"

Description:

As PR pros, we’ve always been asked to do more with less, think outside the box, and turn lemons into, well, you know. But clichés start for a reason. Media relations, crisis communications, fundraising, even marketing…after all, how many hats are you asked to wear?

PPRA’s first educational program of 2010 features a premier panel of the area’s top government, agency, non-profit, and corporate PR pros – at the hottest new venue in the city! Join us at Daniel Stern’s new restaurant at Two Liberty Place, R2L, as seasoned PR executives specializing in certain areas of communications discuss increased responsibilities, overlapping duties with marketing and new media, and other aspects of our expanding roles as PR pros.

Today’s PR professional has to be as dynamic, well-rounded, aggressive, and creative as ever. Don’t miss this opportunity to network with some of the area’s top PR practitioners, discover multitasking secrets, and learn juggling tips to help you stay “on the ball.”
