President's post February 2019

From Your PRSA President
As we head into March at the Pikes Peak PRSA, there are a few things I want to share with all of you.
 
Our March 5 coffee event would be better with you there!

For just $5.00, join us for coffee, conversation and pastries on Tuesday, March 5, from 7:00 a.m. – 8:30 a.m. at Peak Place. Best of all, you’ll get to talk with fascinating public relations people – I’ve seen the RSVP list so far, and I can vouch for this.
 
Save the Date for March Happy Hour and United States Olympic Museum Tour

Get a sneak peek tour of the United States Olympic Museum downtown on Monday, March 18, at 4:00 p.m.
RSVP here -  space is limited to the first 20 people who respond. There’s no cost for this tour.
 
Immediately after at 5:00 p.m., everyone is welcome to join us at Streetcar520 for a happy hour.  Cash bar.
 
Online payment option coming?
We’re working to set up an online payment option for our events to make registering more convenient for you. If you have experience setting up an events payment platform and have any advice as we explore options, feel free to email me at Andrew.Montgomery.PR@gmail.com.
 
Recognizing excellent work in Colorado Springs

I want to once more recognize two of our members for stellar work in our community:

• Joanna Wise, Marketing and Communications Director for Care and Share, earned the Pikes Peak PRSA’s “Caught in the Act of Excellent PR” award for her strong public relations efforts at Care and Share during the government shutdown.
• Susan Presti, Community Relations Manager for Colorado Springs Utilities, was recognized with the “Modeling the Way Community Leadership Award” from Leadership Pikes Peak for her leadership in motivating others to make a positive difference in the community.

 
We’re proud of both you – well done!
 
And thanks to everyone for being a part of building a strong community of public relations professionals in Colorado Springs. Hope to see you at our March events!
 
All the best,

Andrew
