President’s Note: May

We celebrated Spring on April 25 with a happy hour at Ristorante iRicchi in partnership with IABC, National Association of Government Communicators (NAGC), PRSA-NCC, Women in International Trade (WIIT). Don’t worry if you couldn’t make it! Stay tuned for future happy hours and networking opportunities! This week the National Press Club is hosting WWPR for a special event. Join us this Wednesday, May 10 at 6 pm for WWPR Night at the National Press Club. Be sure to register as space is limited! We’ll be enjoying a fun, interactive event including a behind the scenes look, complimentary cocktails, and hors d’oeuvres. Also, learn more about our new partnership with the Press Club that provides WWPR members with exclusive benefits for hosting events and multimedia production services. Coming up later in May is a Professional Development panel on event planning - Stay tuned! We also have fun planned for June, so look out for updates on WWPR’s events page or via email. Last month’s experts at Speed Mentoring shared some stellar tips for career development—many thanks to Hager Sharp for hosting at the mentors for joining us. Finally, we are eager for your feedback on WWPR! Please complete these very short survey (no kidding, only 10 questions!) to help guide us on future programming and how we can continue to best support your professional growth in communications. Thanks and looking forward to hearing from you soon! Best,
