Get In the Game!
Montgomery Hosts PRCA
Conference October 2-3

Do you ever have those days when you feel as though you’re just sitting on the sidelines, waiting your turn, hoping for a chance to show your stuff at the plate?

Well, GET IN THE GAME! Public Relations is certainly NOT a sidelines sport, or a profession for the faint of heart. We train hard, learn from our mistakes…and once armed with a game plan, we take to the field!

This October in Montgomery, we will give you the tools to help you step up to the plate and knock it out of the park. Media training, crisis intervention, an insider’s look at Alabama’s political arena, sports media in today’s world, and an APR Boot Camp for those working toward accreditation or just looking to brush up on you KSAs. Put your thinking caps on, kids…we’re just getting started.

Montgomery has a lot of surprises in store for you in October!
