PRSA Blue Ridge is celebrating 20 years of service to public relations and communications professionals of the Blue Ridge. To celebrate, the chapter and its Past Presidents Council secured an exciting lineup of luncheon speakers in 2012. Also in the works is the development of a great professional development seminar and Summit Awards gala to be held later this year.

In order to support such a great year of programming, the Chapter has developed a sponsorship plan that would underwrite the costs to hold these events. Through our programs, participating sponsors have a unique opportunity to reach a targeted group of professionals at a very affordable cost! We work closely with each sponsor in developing creative ways to leave lasting impressions at chapter events and throughout the year. For more information about becoming a PRSA Blue Ridge sponsor, contact President-Elect Heidi Ketler, APR, at 540-650-3696 or hketler@verizon.net.
