Proactive and Reactive Public Relations: real-world lessons for associations with stories to tell 

Responding to a news situation that aligns with your expertise is one way to ensure your organization’s voice is part of a conversation. Everybody has a story to tell and taking advantage of a news event can help elevate your brand. But ensuring your organization is well prepared for any news opportunity demands an integrated approach. This session will allow you to understand how to take advantage of opportunities to build your brand, influence your stakeholders and deliver on your organization’s strategic vision.
