For the past two years, PRSA's Volunteer Chapter has partnered with the East
Tennessee Business Journal to provide monthly columns covering different
public relations topics.
The publication's circulation covers all of East Tennessee, from Chattanooga
to the Greater Knoxville area. It has been a great opportunity for PRSA to
communicate to the business community about the public relations function.
Some of our guest writers have included Sandra Plant, Gary McCormick, Dr.
Candace White, Cheryl Ball, Dan Hurst, Rod Irvin, Shelley Johansson, Travis
Parman, Melissa Flynn and Sharon Pound.
If you're a PRSA member and would like to contribute an article on your area
of public relations expertise, please contact Wendy Hames at Children's
Hospital, who has graciously agreed to coordinate our ETBJ columns through
next year. Her e-mail is [log in to unmask] We need a guest columnist for
the December issue. The deadline for copy is November 30, so please let
Wendy know within the next week if you'd like to volunteer for next issue's
column -- or if you'd like to volunteer for any columns in the first quarter
of '02. Article length is typically 700-900 words.
You can review previous ETBJ columns (starting in February 2000) on the
"archives" link of the Journal's web site, www.etbj.com.
Thanks, Mary Beth West
