Developed to assist up-and-coming public relations professionals to excel in their careers, Vegas PRSA YoPRos, connects them with professional colleagues and industry peers through dedicated programming, continuing education events, professional support systems and social networking opportunities – all at an affordable cost.
“The aim of Vegas PRSA YoPRos is to provide young professionals living in Las Vegas and working in public relations with a series of networking opportunities designed to prepare them for success, while strengthening the profession in the process,” said Diane Gibes, PRSA-LVVC president. “Networking and professional development workshops provide a great opportunity for young professionals to learn from other experiences, share knowledge and build relationships.”
Programming for Vegas PRSA YoPRos includes regular socials providing a relaxed environment at a different hot spot in Las Vegas; brown bag development workshops where young professionals meet with senior practitioners to discuss questions and concerns and education events such as teleseminars and workshops.
The group will host its first mixer on Tuesday, Feb. 24 at hot spot RA Sushi from 5-7 p.m. Complimentary appetizers and sushi will be provided and happy hour prices for drinks will be available.
