Want to make it in PR?

The Philippine Chapter of the Internatinal Public Relations Association (IPRA), the world’s premier organization of senior PR executives, will hold a seminar on “How to make it in PR” on:

Wednesday, Feb. 27, 2008, 10 am to 6 pm
Function Room A of the Megatrade Halls
5th floor, SM Megamall, EDSA, Mandaluyong City

Through the seminar, the IPRA members want to help young people contemplating or starting a career in PR learn what it takes to succeed in the profession. At the same time, they hope to raise funds for the treatment of Alexis Edralin, granddaughter of IPRA member Max Edralin. Alexis, one of the country’s finest young sopranos, has been suffering from acute mylogenous leukemia but has good chances of recovery.

Fee for the seminar is only P1,000 for students and P2,000 for employees. It will cover participation in the seminar, lunch, certificate of attendance, handouts on the various presentations and a chance to win some raffle items.
