The event is jam-packed with entertaining, informative, inspiring speakers and break-out sessions. The President’s Luncheon serves as the platform from which individual members and Chapters are honored for outstanding work and dedication to the profession. The Golden Image Awards Gala is a conference highlight, showcasing the best in public relations from around the state.
