Dear Friends,
I am very proud and honored to assume the role of president of Public Relations Professionals of Long Island. I look forward to working with the new board to deliver the best programming and events for our membership. You’re the reason why we’re the premier organization for public relations, marketing, and communications professionals on Long Island. Thanks to your commitment, PRPLI is a group of special people where ideas and new industry knowledge can be shared in a supportive community.
Many of us enjoyed long summer vacations and shortened work weeks, but now we are back to our regular routines. It is also time to think about how PRPLI fits into your routine. Will you attend a program, participate in a service project, work on a committee, write an article for this publication, help out at our upcoming service project or come network with us at our holiday mixer? Get involved now and you will find your membership even more meaningful to you.
There’s a lot happening at PRPLI to provide you with professional development opportunities, tools to ensure your success in the field, and resources to better serve our membership. Stay tuned for the announcement of our upcoming programs and activities. Our membership directory will soon arrive in your mailbox. You will find, at your fingertips, a wealth of contacts in nearly every industry. In addition to the printed version of the directory, you will have access to our online version. I encourage all of you to update your own profile on our website. Don’t forget to add a photo to your profile!
One of the goals the new board has taken on is to make sure we offer professional development programs that interest our members and cover cutting edge topics in the fields of public relations, marketing, and communications. You can help us meet this goal over the next few months by recommending topics that you would like us to explore. Please send me your suggestions. We are always looking to expand our membership, so if you have any colleagues or contacts you’d like to refer to PRPLI or if you want to become more involved, please let me know; I welcome your thoughts and comments. You can email me at info@prpli.org.
Best regards,
Donna Rivera-Downey
President
PRPLI Board of Directors
