August Chapter Meeting
August 17, 2018

August is PRSA Diversity & Inclusion Month. At this month’s chapter meeting, D&I consultant Hugo Balta will discuss why diversity and inclusion is not just the moral right thing to do, but the right business thing to do. On the eve of the 2020 U.S. Census, it is imperative that practitioners be culturally fluent in multicultural America.
