When did you join PRSA and what is one of your favorite benefits that the organization provides?
I joined PRSA largely because I wanted to network. I know 'networking' is such an overused term, but after nearly 30 years in the newspaper business, public relations was relatively new to me. I also wanted to get to know more local people who were doing PR for local companies. I felt if I needed to switch jobs, getting to know others within the industry made sense. I wanted to find out what made them successful, what their struggles were, and what skills should I pick up if I want to remain viable in the industry.

Engaging with Virtual Communities: Black Twitter & Beyond
Presented by the PRSA-SF Diversity & Inclusion Committee
Thursday - June 2, 2016
1:00 - 2:00 p.m. PST
People of color and diverse audiences have long been left out of and misrepresented in mainstream media. Now, social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook and Instagram are enabling groups to start powerful social movements like
#BlackLivesMatter,
#NotAllMuslims,
#SayHerName and
#StopGamerGate that change the media conversation.
Ask questions, share ideas and discuss how we can actively and authentically connect and engage with diverse groups on social platforms.

The Public Relations Society of America, San Francisco Chapter's Board of Directors and Committee Members are excited to share the chapter's first diversity and inclusion statement.
PRSA-SF Statement
PRSA-SF is committed to providing professional development opportunities that are reflective and inclusive of all segments of society. Our goal is to provide communications programming that encompasses a wide variety of ideas, perspectives and cultural backgrounds. Through our events and resources, we aim to encourage, educate and engage with a diverse group of communications professionals while affecting change and fostering growth in the public relations industry.
Defining Diversity & Inclusion
Our definition of diversity covers characteristics, identities and their intersectionality including race, religion, sexual orientation, disability, culture, age, gender, gender identity and diversity of thought. These defining attributes impact how we approach our work, connect with others and move through the world. Everyone has at least one thing in common; we are different. Diversity and inclusion are proactive behaviors that respect, embrace and celebrate those differences.
