Women in Public Relations 2020

June 11, 2020 @ 9:00 am - 10:00 am

Free

COVID-19 is affecting women in the workforce differently than men across industries. Come hear from women leaders in the field for a discussion about how their careers and communications have been impacted by this pandemic, how they have needed to make a pivot, and how public relations work may be permanently different. Our panelists represent a range of fields, including education, labor, and entrepreneurship. They have taken different paths to their current positions and will share their stories. Join the discussion and ask questions so you can learn how to chart your own path to leadership in PR!

This is a free, online event. Register now!
