Network with Professionals

PRSA Hoosier Chapter members can enjoy various opportunities to meet and network with other pros during happy hour events at local eateries. Whether you’re an experienced APR or a young communications professional, everyone is invited to discuss industry trends and hear from guest speakers. New pros who attend these events can even begin to build their professional network in a casual, collegial environment.

New Professionals

Are you just starting your public relations career? Here are some networking tips for the eager new professional:

  • Prepare and hone your personal elevator pitch.
  • Make a positive and professional first impression: Dress to impress and give a good handshake.
  • During a conversation, give your full attention and be an empathetic listener.
  • Set a goal for the number of new connections you’ll exchange contact information with. Don’t only talk with people you already know.
  • Follow up with the connections you make in a timely fashion.
