Fund raising executives meeting set for Jan. 13

The Gulf Coast Society of Fund Raising Executives will hold its monthly luncheon meeting and program on Tuesday, Jan. 13, beginning at 11:30 a.m. at the Broadway Palm Dinner Theatre.

For anyone wrestling with the best PR strategies to use to promote your business, organization or event, this meeting is for you.

"How to Get Your Story and Your Need Out to the Public; Use of Traditional and Non-Traditional Public Relations Strategies" will be co-presented by two area authorities on each subject.

Co-presenters will be Ginny Divine, president of Divine Events & Marketing and Kris McCoun, a consultant with DK consulting.

They will present an overview of traditional PR with non-traditional PR provided, what they are and how they work, and their applications today.

This topic will become interactive after their presentation, when they will select a business card and for that organization, create a case-study example illustrating the uses of traditional and non-traditional PR for that organization.

Lunch is $16 for GCFSRE members and $20 for non-members. For membership or other GCFSRE information, visit www.gcsfre.org

Reservations are required.
