President's Message from
Lanny Larson
It’s a privilege to be president of the Central California chapter of the Public Relations Society of America because of its tradition of service to members and connection with the PR practitioners of tomorrow.
Here’s what’s happening:
*
We present practice-relevant workshops and other events offering high-quality, low-cost local training to our members, prospective members and students.
*
We provide the Fresno State and Cal State Bakersfield PRSSA chapters mentoring and other support, guiding students toward PR careers.
*
We are committed to the ethical conduct of our members and others in public relations regionally, providing an annual program amplifying PRSA’s Code of Ethics.
*
Our members network with agencies, institutions and other organizations to share up-to-the-minute info on employment opportunities, especially in our Central California
region.
*
Our Image Awards recognize excellence in public relations practice -- the only program locally where entries are judged by other PRSA chapters, who apply PRSA guidelines and provide critiques from which we can learn.
*
Our members are instantly available, experienced resources should members need help on anything from wordsmithing to strategizing.
We hope anyone who plays a public relations, marketing or communications role in a business, community benefit organization, government agency or as a free-lancer, will consider
membership.
We invite questions or comments, please contact me at lannylarson@att.net.
