Expired Ninth Annual Public Relations Issues of the Day for Associations and Nonprofits

ONLINE REGISTRATION HAS CLOSED, BUT YOU ARE WELCOME TO WALK-IN AND REGISTER.

The program features nine roundtable discussions led by experts talking about topics and issues facing association and nonprofit communications professionals. Attendees participate in three roundtable discussions with topic leaders, share best practices and ask questions in a small group environment. An online survey identified the topics/issues that will be addressed.

The event is sponsored by the Association/Nonprofit Committee of the National Capital Chapter (NCC) of Public Relations Society of America (PRSA). In past years, attendance at the event has averaged 70 professionals. The event was created to provide a cost-effective opportunity for local communications professionals.
