Twitter: @DaniV7101[/caption] Our theme for 2018 has set the stage for WWPR to shine a spotlight on the remarkable female communicators that are changing the game in the industry. In May, we celebrated the achievements of eighteen impressive Emerging Leaders Awards finalists who rose to the top of a record-breaking number of nominees. These women are more than their resumes; they’re volunteers, advocates, mothers, artists and changemakers. If you were able to join us on May 15th, you know our judges had an extremely difficult job in choosing the six honorees. If you missed the big event, you definitely missed something special--including a one-on-one with UrbanStems’ Cameron Hardesty--but don’t worry, we have a recap you can check out. With Summer on the horizon, we have even more opportunities for you to build both your communications skills and your network...and prepare to conquer your next career goal. Whether you’re waking up with inspirational tidbits from PR powerhouse MGM National Harbor’s Alexia Baillow at our next Rise & Shine event or hearing from George Washington University School of Media and Public Affairs’ Jenn Halpin on what’s holding you back in the workplace, we have something for everyone. We even have some fantastic summer workout series events with local fitness studios that we’ll be hosting throughout the season. So stay tuned and we hope to see you soon! -Dani 2018 WWPR President
