PResident's Perspective
Mission Membership
Who is your go-to? You know, the vendors/partners you rely on to make your PR/Communications job easier…maybe the person you call on to design your collateral, your photographer, printer or caterer? Do you know someone in an allied field of the public relations profession who might be interested in the activities of FPRA? If you have someone in mind, why not invite him/her to join FPRA? Or pass the names along to me, so I can contact them! At the very least, let’s invite them to our luncheon so they can experience some of the benefits our organization provides. It’s a great network of potential business for them and a wonderful resource for our members to have reliable sources for needed services.
As always, please let me know if you have any questions or if I can help in anyway: barbara.carbaugh@hiers-baxley.net; call or text: 352-484-9091.
