Last month’s Career Master Class featured many helpful tips on managing a PR career in the real world. If you missed it, you might enjoy the event recap and summary advice available this month on L.A. Connect.
Meanwhile, if this summer finds you looking for additional ways to stand out in your career, some upcoming chapter activities may give you the lift you’re looking for.
Peer-Reviewed Expertise. There’s just a little time left to apply for 2017 PRism Awards recognition in dozens of available categories for campaigns and public relations tactics, so make sure to get your entries in by July 24 to avoid late application fees. Winning a PRism Award has been known to help members earn new business and promotions, by demonstrating public relations expertise to employers and current and prospective clients. So pick your favorite accomplishments from 2016/2017 and tell our friends at PRSA Georgia about it - who will serve as our judges this year.
Network for Success. PRSA-LA’s Annual Summer Mixer happens tomorrow at Porter Novelli in Playa Vista — the perfect time and place to strike up a conversation and find referrals to the season’s hottest opportunities. A low, $10 cover charge (the event is free to Young Professional Members) scores hosted beer and wine, appetizers and cotton candy. Parking and the beautiful summer sunset are free.
Put Your Clients on TV. On August 9, our At Breakfast With… Broadcast Reporters and Producers event will feature local broadcast news professionals from CBS2|KCAL9, NBC4, and KMEX and other stations. Get an edge on your competition with insights on aligning your client’s goals with news professionals’ need to deliver hours of compelling television news each day.
Be sure to take advantage of all of these great upcoming opportunities in the coming weeks!
Best regards,
Philip Sokoloski
