President’s Note: June
What I most treasure about WWPR is the community—how we all support each other in our personal and professional growth. I know that I’ve learned so much at our Professional Development events, made fast friends, and connected others. It’s hugely satisfying when I can connect people who can help each other! This year we have had great success at continuing long-successful relationships with sponsors like PR Newswire MultiVu, Strauss Media Strategies, PRofessional Solutions, and Hager Sharp (among others). But I’m also pleased to have new friends join the WWPR community as sponsors or partners, such as the National Press Club, Ogilvy, and the Reis Group. It’s a point of pride to have respected organizations recognize the value of the WWPR community and support our continuing growth. We love welcoming new sponsors and partners, but treasure those who have been with us for years as precious family. These companies make what WWPR achieves possible by hosting events, sharing expertise on panels, and providing opportunities for building connections among our membership. If you know organizations or individuals who could benefit from becoming a part of the WWPR family, reach out and let us know! We gladly welcome new members and sponsors—and are happy to share all the benefits of how being involved and active can grow companies, contacts, and skills. In order to continue all these great connections and strengthen our programming, we need feedback! If you haven’t already, please complete this short survey for WWPR. Stay tuned for some exciting announcements soon about the Emerging Leaders Awards and news from the Pro Bono Committee. Thanks and enjoy the start of summer! Best, 
Kelly Mack
