March Board Meeting Highlights

The monthly PRSA Pittsburgh Board meeting on Tuesday revealed that the chapter is well on its way to reaching the 2016 strategic goals described in President Steve Radick’s post earlier this year.

In the first quarter of 2016, PRSA Pittsburgh:

• Hosted two events: the annual Renaissance Awards at Hotel Monaco and a joint networking and media relations event with the Online News Association (ONA)
• Presented on behalf of PRSA at locations such as CCAC Boyce Campus and Clarion University, with several more engagements at colleges and universities scheduled for spring
• Distributed two of the chapter’s new e-newsletters, featuring programming previews, member spotlights, national PRSA updates and more.

Discussion at the Board meeting focused heaving on programming. Educational programs, communicator tours, membership events and networking activities are being planned on a monthly basis from April through December, sometimes overlapping and often featuring partner organizations such as WIB-Pittsburgh and PRSA Cleveland. Members should find these events fun and a little unexpected, and we look forward to sharing them with you as the planning unfolds. Stay tuned!

Plans for our 2016 Public Service Campaign and the development of a new PRSA Pittsburgh website also served as topics of discussion at the Board meeting. Many exciting projects are underway—more to be detailed following the April 26 Board meeting.
