March President’s PRoclaimer Message

By FPRA Orlando President Ali Beemer, APR

Spring is right around the corner, but FPRA Orlando already is blooming with excitement! From our upcoming program featuring Travel + Leisure (one of our first in-person professional development programs since 2020), celebrating PR greatness in our community via the Image Awards gala on April 19, recognizing the 2022 PR Pro of the Year with an in-person surprise and planning for Media Mashup this June, it’s truly an exciting time to be a member of FPRA Orlando.

And the best part is… there’s plenty more excitement ahead! Specifically recognizing the inaugural ImPRess Award winner and hosting a special guest during this month’s member-only coffee chat — stay tuned to our social media channels for the latest.

All of these programs and activities are the result of hard work by fellow members to enhance Central Florida’s public relations community. We speak from experience — volunteering to serve FPRA Orlando is not only personally rewarding, but also one of the best investments you can make in your career. You can learn something new, grow a skillset or put your talents to work outside of the office — no matter what your professional development goals may be, FPRA Orlando is here for you.

We are currently building FPRA Orlando’s 2022-2023 board of directors led by Jose Luis Dieppa. Learn more about open roles here, and please complete and send the Board of Directors Interest Questionnaire along with your resume to Kacie Escobar, APR, at kescobar@thestrategicfirm.com by Friday, March 25. I have no doubt Jose and his board will make #FPRAGreaterThan ever.

Happy Spring (without the pollen)!
