• Hosted the Chapter’s annual Professional Development Day on Oct. 27 at The Rivers Club. This year’s PD Day focused on how communications professionals are using traditional and innovative tactics to reach their audiences. Read about what our keynote panel speakers shared here. 

• Joined forces with the Waynesburg University PRSSA Chapter to initiate a student-professional mentor program. To date, we have 10 committed professionals acting as mentors to 10 PRSSA students from Waynesburg University. We’re looking forward to see how both parties will benefit from this partnership. 

• Hosted our annual Holiday Party at Roland’s Seafood Grill & Iron Landing. Members of PRSA Pittsburgh came together to celebrate a successful 2016 and enjoyed appetizers and drinks to close out the year. 

Happy 2017 from PRSA Pittsburgh! We look forward to another great year with our outstanding members.
