President’s Column – February 2013
Chris Smith, Greater Fort Worth PRSA President

Don’t know about you, but my February schedule is already jam-packed (what happened to January?).
Last month I wrote about the necessity of always learning something new, and thanks to the planning efforts of our Vice President of Programs Michelle Clark and Professional Development Chair Brian Murnahan (with input from our new Digital Committee Chair Chip Hanna), our February half-day program has the potential to teach us all something we didn’t know beforehand.
Forging Social Media Success, http://fortworthprsa.dividesignpros.com/2013/01/23/social-media-success-program, will include knowledge for the novice as well as the expert. Speakers will present case studies from RadioShack and Catholic Charities Fort Worth and encourage interaction during breakout sessions on audience engagement, content creation and metrics. It promises not to disappoint, so sign up soon.
Also, Activities Chair Lisa Albert has been busy planning evening events that might especially interest those who can’t make our mid-day monthly programs. The first one has already been confirmed, so mark your calendars for Feb. 19 when she brings in a speaker to give an overview on The Value of Networking http://fortworthprsa.dividesignpros.com/2013/01/23/prsa-after-hours. (Lisa also shared her goal of hosting at least one evening event each quarter this year, so stay tuned.)
Have I left something out? Be sure to visit our website at http://fortworthprsa.dividesignpros.com, kept current by our Website Chair Rebekah Moore.
Honestly, who could ever complain of boredom with such an active February agenda?
