In addition\, she serves as Secretary Board Member of Tu Refugio Seguro\, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting survivors of domestic violence and creating safe\, empowering spaces or healing and growth with all their resources being in Spanish. Her work centers on amplifying underrepresented voices\, fostering meaningful connections\, and creating spaces where culture\,  community\, and opportunity thrive. Passionate about representation and community empowerment\, Yvette continues to use her voice and platform to inspire\, connect\, and create lasting impact.  he is proudly Mexican and deeply rooted in honoring her heritage through her work and community involvement. \nAaron Robles is a serial entrepreneur and community builder with a passion for  bringing people together and creating spaces where everyone can thrive.

SUMMARY:AI & A1: Artificial Intelligence and A-list Media
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Sarah Bahr of The New York Times \n\nOur Meet the Media series continues on July 9 with a cutting-edge virtual doubleheader: AI & A1 — a conversation at the intersection of artificial intelligence and A-list media. \nWe’ll start with a presentation/conversation about artificial intelligence (namely\, the free software that generates on-demand words and images such as ChatGPT) in public relations. It’ll be an illuminating and uncomfortable conversation fueled by the anonymous insights of our chapter members! It’s a can’t miss.

With more than 720 stories across 14 desks under her belt\, Sarah is a voice journalists and PR pros alike should be paying close attention to. And yes\, we’ll be talking to her about the intersection of AI and journalism. \n\nDetails \nWednesday\, July 9\nVirtual doubleheader event (Zoom) \n\n10:30 a.m. to 11:15 a.m.: AI presentation/conversation\n11:15 to noon: Sarah Bahr\n\n$10 for members | $35 for other guests | Free to those who are between jobs \nRegister to get the links. \nREGISTER HERE \n\nOur $10 (member price) total gets you entry into both sessions.
