Public Service Committee plans assistance to the nonprofit community

Fri, 03 Feb 2012 21:00:00 GMT

The Public Service Committee of PRSA Richmond will provide professional PR assistance to a nonprofit organization in our community through the 2012 Nonprofit Alliance.

Nonprofit organizations may apply for assistance with strategic planning, organization of a public event, or assistance with communications tactics such as media relations, social media, or internal communications.

The application will be available on the PRSA-Richmond website beginning in mid-February. Applications are due by Friday, March 30.

The Public Service Committee is also planning to organize a workshop for area nonprofit organizations, tentatively planned for September 2012.

The Committee held an organizational meeting on February 3, and welcomes the involvement of all interested PRSA members. PRSA members are needed for several aspects of the Committee’s work. Here’s how you can help:

Spread the word within the nonprofit community and encourage organizations to apply for assistance;
Assist in the selection of the winning nonprofit organization;
Meet with the selected organization to develop a plan and execute a Public Relations project on their behalf;
Plan and offer a free workshop on PR Basics for nonprofit organizations in our area.

Please contact Public Service Committee Chair Glenn Birch, mailto:glenn.birch@vacu.org">glenn.birch@vacu.org, 560-5664 if you would like to get involved.

NEW THIS YEAR: Thomas Jefferson and Rising Star awards have no entry fees

Rachel Beanland, APR - noemail@prsarichmond.org — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 16:00:00 GMT

It’s awards time and Richmond PRSA’s two individual awards, the Thomas Jefferson Award and the Rising Star Award, are easier than ever to apply for. There are now no entry fees to nominate or self-nominate for either award.

The Thomas Jefferson Award honors a senior public relations practitioner who has demonstrated excellence in the field during the course of his or her career. Nominees don’t necessarily need to be at the end of their careers—just in a position to demonstrate a long track record of excellence in the profession.

“Winning the TJ Award truly was a highlight of my professional career—a career that I hope continues for a long time,” said Pam Lepley, executive director of university relations for VCU and last year’s TJ recipient. “It has inspired me to work harder, better and more creatively to be a better public relations professional and to promote the profession, especially as a mentor.”

The Rising Star Award recognizes a young public relations practitioner who has worked in the field for five or fewer years. This is a great opportunity to recognize an up-and-coming professional who has already made a significant impact in his or her organization and the greater Richmond community.

“Winning the Rising Star award was an incredible experience,” said Cameron McPherson, an account executive at the Hodges Partnership and last year’s Rising Star recipient. “PRSA Richmond is truly top notch, so it was an honor to be recognized by the same professionals I respect so much. If you or someone you know is a PR professional with five years of experience or less, you should apply for the Rising Star Award!”

Both of the chapter’s individual award applications are included in this year’s Call for Entries. The deadline for all awards submissions is February 24. If you have any questions about applying or nominating a colleague for either award, please contact Rachel Beanland at (804) 385-7130 or via e-mail at rachel.beanland@capitalone.com.

Connecting With Other Chapters

Jennifer Curtis, APR - noemail@prsarichmond.org — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 14:00:00 GMT

Did you know PRSA Richmond is part of a district of chapters stretching from Hampton Roads to Delaware? As president-elect, I am your connection between these chapters and look forward to updating you with news this year.

In January, president Jeff Wilson, APR, and I traveled to D.C. to meet district chapter representatives, share best practices, ideas for collaboration amongst chapters, and brainstorm new ideas to accomplish more with less. The theme of this year’s ‘Quick Start’ event was Stretching Your Dollar. We were joined by representatives from National Capital, Blue Ridge, Hampton Roads, Maryland, and Virginia Peninsula chapters.

We enjoyed participating in six robust discussion groups including:

How small chapters can successfully gain sponsorships
Many volunteers, many leadership styles
Brainstorming for new ideas and best practices
Working with chapter administrators
How to do more with less
Help from the region

The event was led by Mid-Atlantic District Chair Mindy Hughes, APR, who is developing a plan to strengthen the district and identify how it can best support chapters. Mindy plans to visit our chapter soon to share her ideas for collaboration with the board, and I look forward to introducing her at an upcoming program. With Mindy’s strong leadership and passion for PRSA, it’s going to be a great year!

What’s the value in those three little letters – A-P-R? R-E-S-P-E-C-T

Anne Buckley - noemail@prsarichmond.org — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 22:00:00 GMT

In our recent survey of PRSA Richmond Chapter members, we asked what was holding you back from pursuing accreditation. Many of you answered that you couldn’t see the value. So, we’ll break it down for you Aretha Franklin-style in this month’s article on what accreditation can do for you.

RES – REcognized Standard. Ethics? Check. Theory and practice? Check. Experience? Check. Accreditation lets the world know that you adhere to commonly accepted practices in the field, and tells your clients, peers and employer that you know what you’re doing. Not just because you said so, but because our industry does.
P – Promotes lifelong learning: Once you’re accredited, you are required to pursue activities like professional development, mentoring or volunteerism to keep your skills sharp and up-to-date. What better way to justify taking the time to help less-experienced practitioners grow in the field?
E – Excellence in the field: APR holders are some of the most experienced and highly regarded practitioners in our field. Not sure? Just ask Harold Burson, APR or Daniel J. Edelman, APR.
C – Career enhancement: You CHOSE to become accredited, which makes you stand out among others in our field. Not like those doctors or accountants who are REQUIRED to get extra letters in order to practice.
T – Tools: Whether your current job exposes you to all of the (ever-changing) facets of PR or not, seeking accreditation forces you to be well-versed across all of the aspects of the field. In the end, you bring more to the party.

We’ve changed the process to make it easier to fit into your busy schedule. We’ve added a mentor component to the process so you have someone to guide you through the process. APR. Find out what it means to you. Talk to us before next month’s luncheon to learn more about how you can get started.

And big tip of the hat to the chapter's newest APR, Britt Drewes Farrar. Congratulations, and welcome.

President’s Message: New Year, New Home, New Theme!

Jeff Wilson, APR - noemail@prsarichmond.org — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 10:00:00 GMT

Happy New Year!

The New Year is a time when many of us take stock in the previous year and look forward to the possibilities ahead. It’s also a time for change. The same holds true for PRSA Richmond. The PRSA Richmond Board held a planning meeting in December and has been busy working on the 2012 Strategic Plan, as we gear up for the year ahead. We have many new and exciting changes in store for the Richmond PR community.

New Home. After many years of meeting at the Ramada Plaza Richmond West (previously the Sheraton West), PRSA Richmond has a new home for 2012 – the Downtown Richmond Marriott at 500 E. Broad Street. The Board didn’t arrive at this decision lightly. With the Ramada closed, we were forced to find new accommodations, quickly. After an exhaustive review of more than a dozen locations in various parts of the Greater Richmond area, the Downtown Richmond Marriott was the best option for us in terms of space, accessibility and quality of the accommodations.

To make the transition easier, PRSA Richmond will offer free parking to our members and guests in the parking deck at 5^thand Marshall Streets for each of our monthly luncheons. Bring the ticket from the machine to the Chapter’s registration desk, and we’ll swap the ticket for a PAID voucher ticket.

New Theme. For the 2012 year, PRSA Richmond will focus on the theme, PRSA Serving RVA. This theme is inspired by PRSA National’s new initiative – PRServing America – which will encourage and reward public service efforts at the local level. The centerpiece of our PRSA Serving RVA theme will be the work of our Public Service Committee. Throughout the year, we will encourage our members to get involved in the Chapter’s community service initiatives. If you are interested in serving on the Public Service Committee, please contact Glenn Birch, public service committee chair, at glenn.birch@vacu.org or (804) 560-5664.

The theme also will celebrate the many wonderful ways PRSA Richmond serves the Greater Richmond PR community and the community at large through our various initiatives and programs, including:

Service through educational opportunities – Monthly luncheons, professional development programs and accreditation preparation
Service through mentoring and celebrating diversity – Student Connections Week, the mentoring program for young professionals (Next Wave) and Diversity in Communications features on our website
Service through networking – Networking happy hours, monthly luncheons and special sections programs (Independent Practitioners Alliance, Senior Practitioners and Next Wave)
Service through scholarships – Annual scholarships offered by the PRSA Richmond Foundation
Service through recognizing excellence in PR – Virginia PR Awards, Thomas Jefferson Award and Rising Star Award

As we gear up for 2012, please consider signing up for a committee to help guide the future direction of our great Chapter. Also, don’t forget to renew your Chapter dues and register for the January 25 luncheon. Our guest speaker will be William C. “Bill” Hall, vice president of executive communications at Dominion, who will be discussing crisis communications. I hope to see you there.

Thank you for your continued support of PRSA Richmond. We’re working to make 2012 a great year!
