Let's Get Connected!

With a wealth of PR talent in the central Virginia region, the Virginia Public Relations Awards celebrate that talent with an program that recognizes winners in several tactical and strategic entry categories.

In 2008, the award programs' slogan is "Let's Get Connected," in a nod to social media and all that it entails.

And speaking of social media, this blog is your peek behind the scenes as the 2008 Awards Committee plans this not-to-be-missed event.

Getting Connected More Each Day!

Hello and welcome to my first official blog post! As a member of this year's PRSA awards committee, I am so excited both about the upcoming event as well as the chance to learn some new things along the way.

As the planning process for PRSA's annual gala began, I whole-heartedly embraced our theme of social media and all that it entails. Admittedly, though, I've only dabbled in a few social media areas (LinkedIn, listened to a few podcasts here and there, etc.). However, the more I begin to utilize some of these tools, the more excited I am about them. I am feeling more and more connected with my peers, and indeed the world around me, with each passing day!

I know that everyone visiting the PRSA Richmond site will appreciate all of the effort our committee has put into planning the event this year. I think that you will find everything being offered on this site - from the Webinar to this blog - is a fun, exciting new way for us all to communicate. I hope that you, too, will begin to embrace some of these new tools now at our fingertips!
