ER for PR

ER for PR, the Capital Chapter’s annual community service event, offers small businesses and local non-profits an opportunity to receive free one-on-one counseling sessions with PR experts.

In addition to the counseling sessions, the Chapter will host speakers to discuss the basics of public relations, how to identify and manage social media crises and how to build good relationships with local media. Attendees will also be able to bid on low-priced communication services at the silent media auction, speak with PR pros from the area and network with other nonprofits and local businesses in the area.

We’re also excited to partner with TREW Media, Inc., our official Chapter photographer, to offer professional head shots on site at ER for PR. Head shots will be $35 per person and will be available throughout the day on a first-come, first-serve basis.

ER for PR applications are due Wednesday, July 9, 2014 by 5pm. Information about applying to participate is online here.
