Spring Break Professional Development Workshops
New York Coalition of 100 Black Women
This from CCNY PRSSA President Natalee Facey who is keeping in touch with colleagues during her semester studying abroad in Paris. She requests that CCNY students take advantage of this exciting opportunity which takes place during Spring Break. Natalee is an alum of this program and encourages other young women to get involved!
The program is put on by a group of professional women in different fields called The New York Coalition of One Hundred Black Women. A group of young ladies from the CUNY colleges (this began with CCNY) are brought together for a series of workshops to prepare them for the competitive business world. The workshops cover:
• Networking
• Saving and investing money
• Resume building, writing cover letters, preparing business cards
• Interviewing tips
• Make-up tips, dressing for success
• Speaking with confidence, even body posture
• Business and dining etiquette
According to Natalee, “The young ladies who are accepted in the program meet with professional women in their field who take them on a shadow day and they are matched with mentors in their field. I am still in contact with my mentor from the PR industry and the ladies from Ogilvy who invited our group to shadow their day, and other young women from the program. The benefits are endless. I think this would be especially useful to MCA students since networking is so important." Natalee recalls students should be juniors, but interested young women should request more information and an application form from:

NABJ Hosts March 21 PR Conference at Associated Press
The National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ), a 4,000-member group that includes 700 PR pros, is hosting its first conference for PR professionals Saturday, March 21 at the Associated Press, 430 West 33rd Street, New York.

"The session will demonstrate how PR pros can use their craft to positively effect change within their local communities," says Turner.

Another topic will be how journalist / PR practitioner relationships factor into the ability to get coverage. Attendees will discuss pro bono work and the "effective means through which those in PR might solicit their employers for support," according to the program.
Social networking will be explored using Black Planet, LinkedIn, Facebook and MySpace and there will be panel discussions on Black entertainers and sports figures.

All those who have pre-registered will receive priority and I do not know how many, if any participants we can admit in on-site.
I am sorry I can not give more positive information, but I am confined by our restrictions on capacity.
