Counselors’ Network
Since 1990, CN has served as a forum for FPRA’s senior-level public relations practitioners to discuss their craft and learn from one another.
Benefits of CN membership include:
Behind-the-Scenes Events
Periodically, members of the Counselors’ Network are invited to attend special events that are exclusive to Network members. These events provide members with enriching professional development opportunities and experiences.
CN Winter Symposium: A Dynamic Two-Day Conference
This annual event provides high-level professional development designed to encourage productive idea sharing and stimulating dialogue. To see what this event is like, view the schedule for the 2023 CN Winter Symposium that was held in Gainesville on January 19-21.
Until you experience the CN Winter Symposium, it is hard to explain the level of personal and professional growth that takes place in two days. It is a combination of incredible experiences — behind-the-scenes tours, hands-on exposure, discussions with top leaders — and networking with the sharpest PR professionals in the state. If I was only allowed one professional growth opportunity this year, this is the one I would pick because every time I leave knowing that it is the best investment my company can make in me.
