March 2019 President’s Message by Stacy Hope

Dear Colleagues,

This month, I want to thank and recognize some of the partners that help make our programming possible — our sponsors.

PRSA-NCC sponsors help underwrite our events, support our professional development efforts, and provide vital services to our chapter PR professionals. I’m extremely proud of the diverse mix of agencies, universities, recruiters, small businesses, event specialists, individual practitioners, and others who see the value of partnering with PRSA-NCC to drive their brand, grow their business, and support our industry.

Our relationship with sponsors begins with working to understanding their business interests, their commitment to public relations, and the best way to connect sponsors with the nearly 1,100 industry leaders who are PRSA-NCC members. This year, we’re using data from our recent membership survey to design some new and exciting sponsorship options designed to maximize sponsor value through networking and event-based sponsorship features. Of course, we’ll continue to offer the traditional benefits included in our chapter, Thoth Gala, and program sponsorships. We also plan to develop additional engagement opportunities for senior executives.
I’m excited about our enhanced approach, and I hope that you’ll support your businesses and our industry through PRSA-NCC sponsorship. To learn more, please connect with our Sponsorship Chair Brendon Miller, APR, at bmiller@wacif.org.

I also encourage all PRSA-NCC members to take a moment to learn more about the organizations who provide such amazing support to our chapter. You can find a full list of sponsors at https://www.prsa-ncc.org/about-us/who-sponsors-us; they are also showcased throughout our website.

Warmest regards,

Stacy Hope
PRSA-NCC President
