@MaristPRSSA @ThinkBluePR @IBM Any key takeaways? @ThinkBluePR was great last time she came to speak @MaristPRSSA!

Now @ThinkBluePR Brandi Boatner from @IBM in New York is talking about the real world of PR! What your professors DON’T teach you.

“Failure and self worth do not go hand in hand”

Today kicks off with Mayor Kevin Faulkner of San Diego!

Last of the day! Holly Baird of Sitrick and Company talks managing the pressures of crisis communication and balancing ethics. “As PR professionals, we are carriers of the truth. We are not the judge and jury.”

“In non profit PR, there is no widget (product).... you are selling a concept”

What counts as non-profit PR? -Academia (universities and schools) -Institutionalized Medicine (hospitals and researchers) -Mixed Media and Performing Arts (Museums and theaters) -Human services -Social services -Animal rights and services

Now it’s time for “For the People: Navigating Non-Profit PR” with Mark Pilon of @SusanGKomen LA.

“We can’t control the narrative, we can only control our talking points”

Journalists will report the good and the bad news, so put your egos aside and work with the journalists. We have to help them get through those adversaria stories. With a good relationship we can start talking about the good

Who tells your story, and why does that story need to be told; that’s the narrative to share

“Those who tell stories rule the world”

Up next “Storytelling and Media Relations: When the News Isn’t Good” with Aileen Izquerido and Heather Radi-Bermudez, professors of Florida State University!

Proud to announce that we have been awarded the Star Chapter Award for the 6th year in a row! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #MaristPRSSA #Prssaic
