PRSA Georgia Hosts December 9 Luncheon

ATLANTA — December 1, 2015 — The Public Relations Society of America Georgia Chapter (prsageorga.org) will host its monthly chapter meeting and luncheon on Wednesday, December 9. Featured speaker Tim Whitehead, vice president of marketing and communications for Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, will discuss how the organization turned its 100th anniversary into a year-long program of outreach. The event will be held at Maggiano’s Buckhead in Atlanta.

Organization anniversaries and events are great ways to garner media coverage and engage audiences. Whitehead will share insights into turning a one-time event into a 365-day occasion, with strategies and tactics that can be applied to any organization, no matter the size and budget, including:

• Key points to consider in the planning process
