PRSA FREE Webinar

How Generation Y and Seasoned Pros Can Navigate the Social Media Highway Together

The Role of the New Professional
Tuesday, November 24
3–4 p.m. EDT

Communication challenges between different generations are nothing new. However, the rise of new media and its crucial role in public relations has strained more than one old pro and Gen Y professional relationship. This FREE webinar will feature a lively panel of old and new pros who will discuss how Millennials can serve as PR's social media stewards and how experienced managers, who may be less familiar with Web 2.0, can successfully collaborate with them. Also, the panel will address the new opportunities social media offers all generations to better connect.
