Future of PR in this Economy

Picnet_r1_c1 The Public Realtions Society of America of National Capital Chapter (PRSA-NCC) is sponsoring a seminar entitled "The PR Employment Environment as we Enter 2009." 

2009 looks like it is going to be a very challenging year for public relations professionals. Will budgets be cut as the recession continues? Will organizations downsize to reflect diminished revenues? These are subjects debated daily within the PR community. But, much of what's discussed is anecdotal: it's based on who you talk to and who that individual has contacted.  The PRSA-NCC Professional Development committee is holding this special session - at reduced cost - to separate fact from fiction. Join the session and get the most up to date assessment of what is really happening

The PR Employment Environment as we Enter 2009
