PRESIDENT'S CORNER
Heather Senter, Greater Fort Worth PRSA
Unlike gas prices, PRSA luncheon fees have remained the same for the past six years. Since luncheon prices have continued to rise steadily over the past few years, the board decided to review luncheon meeting costs at other chapters throughout the state and at other chapters similiar in size. Starting this month, our luncheon prices will be members $25, nonmembers $30 and students $20.
Parking will continue to be included in our luncheon cost, and our RSVP structure will remain the same. As always, we strive to provide value to you as a public relations professional. If you have ideas on ways that we could better serve you, please don't hesitate to contact me at heathersenter@charter.net.
