Most don’t grow up thinking, “I want to work in public relations when I grow up.” It’s the kind of career that people find out about later, and develop a passion for. Find out how our for Women in PR panelists came to embrace public relations as a career and as a tool to help their organization meet its goals. Our panelists represent a range of fields and have taken different paths to their current positions and will share their stories. Network and ask questions so you can learn from them how to chart your own path to success in PR.
Heather Schechter, Director of Marketing and Business Development for Sunrise Management & Consulting, moderates a conversation with guest panelists:
- Maria Garcia, Communications Associate, Open Space Institute (Young professional, Nonprofit)
- Michelle Olson, APR, Head of Public Relations, Fingerpaint; Board of Directors, PRSA (Agency)
- Susan Radzyminski, Director of Marketing, EYP (Corporate)
