CapChap’s Gathering of Solos
There are a variety of work settings within the Capital Chapter’s membership, including a cadre of solo practitioners. Representing a variety of communication specialties – from public affairs to digital marketing – this intrepid crew each boldly hung their shingles, and run their own consultancies.
Started in 2024, the Capital Chapter’s solo practitioners get together on a periodic basis to talk shop, celebrate wins, and learn from each other both professionally and personally. The most recent Gathering of Solos took place on Friday, May 16. If you are interested in joining us for a future gathering, please email Carla Brown Lucas, immediate past president, at CBLucas@BrownLucas.com.
