Your Improved Digital Experience!
On July 25, CPRS National  launched its new and improved website! Though intensive member consultation, the fine folks at the National have delivered us a more intuitive, user-friendly and mobile responsive experience. 

With the launch of the new site, CPRS-VI can now finalize and launch our own updated website, which will be fully integrated with the National. Together, you should find a seamless digital experience, allowing convenient access to the local and National information you need to support your professional development and networking needs.
We’re Keeping it Real – Beyond the Hype 2018
What do you get when you fill a room with savvy and somewhat crazed public relations practitioners who share a love for take-out pizza? Your Beyond the Hype 2018 conference planning team!

Everyone on the committee (not all pictured here) has a unifying and guiding vision. “We all want to put on a great event, to feel connected, to grow personally and professionally, and to have fun. Lots of fun,” laughs committee Chair, Tatiana Chabeaux-Smith .

This year, we’re keeping it real, authentic, and experiential. If you’re looking for a day of talking heads, theory, and death-by-PowerPoint, this event is not for you.

If you’re looking to walk away at the end of the day feeling inspired, with new connections, and meaningful tools that you’re excited to implement to improve your communications and engagement practice – then join us Friday, November 23, 2018 at Royal Roads University for Beyond the Hype 2018 !

We’ll feed and water you well throughout the day, finishing with an on-site reception where you can kick back, connect and cultivate your network with peeps who share and understand your world.

Plan to join us because it’s going to rock. Really. 
Looking to Prove Your Event Planning Skills?
Effective event management means having a specific target audience in mind well before event planning starts, and needs to be aimed at delivering a clear message and a compelling call to action.

We are looking for event planners who are looking to make their mark in public relations/communications.

Contact  us  for more info or to apply.
