In a bold step reflective of its commitment to provide meaningful information to its membership in a difficult economic environment, the National Black Public Relations Society (NBPRS) is converting its Annual Conference & Career Fair to a series of free online, interactive webinars. The online events will be held on April 23-24.NBPRS, the largest organization of African Americans in the field of public relations, was co-founded by Pat Tobin - a well-respected PR veteran who passed away in 2008.
This year's conference was originally to be held in Atlanta, Georgia. It was to be their 10th anniversary. However, the conference was apparently canceled due to the current U.S. economic crisis that has affected so many other events and companies.
I personally attend every year, and am a huge advocate and supporter. In fact, last year my company sponsored the conference in part, and we were planning to be a major sponsor this year as well.
I was a bit disappointed to hear about the cancellation, but am glad to hear that they are scheduling a series of local conference and opportunity fairs in Atlanta, Chicago, New York and Washington, D.C. between March and December 2009. These one-day events will focus on communication strategies, professional development, career and business opportunities.
