August events made Summer 2015 a season to remember for PRSA-LA chapter programming.
First, our August 15 chapter event, “From the Frontlines: What You Need to Know Now for the Crisis Ahead,” featured an all-star panel of crisis communications experts including Brian O’Connor (Princess Cruises), Alan Caldwell (Shell Oil Company), and Mike Michels (formerly of Toyota Motor Sales). Mary Grady of Los Angeles World Airports moderated as the panelists shared their “in-the-trenches” perspectives on managing an unfolding crisis. If you missed the panel, be sure to view the Storify digest from the event. Photos are also available online.
On August 20, current and prospective chapter members packed Beverly Hills’ Ocean Prime for the PRSA-LA Summer Social. Attendees enjoyed complimentary hosted drinks and hors d’oeuvres, great networking and a fantastic ambience as they wound down the summer in style. Our thanks go out to Ocean Prime for hosting us and to PRSA-LA Board Member Rita Tateel, for organizing the event. Photos of the festivities are available here. Thanks to Marshall Thompson of PRVideo.tv for photographing both of our summer events.
