Press, Presence & Profit: A Public Relations Workshop

Hi FPRA Tampa Bay Members,

Our community is full of incredible nonprofits and small businesses doing great work—but many of them lack the dedicated PR resources to truly amplify their message.

We are excited to share an upcoming collaboration between one of our members, Marla Howell’s HOW PR and the FPRA Tampa Bay Chapter to host a community-focused counsel session this May. We’re looking for some of our members to volunteer their expertise for a series of "flash" advice sessions, helping local organizations navigate their communications challenges. 

Info: Guests arrive, check in, and enjoy time to order lunch from The Poke Company.
Network, connect, and settle in before the program begins.

Info: Overview of the day, goals for the session, and key takeaways provided by HOW Public Relations & Florida Public Relations Association.

This discussion explores how strategic public relations drives visibility, builds credibility, and fuels sustainable business growth. Panelists will break down what PR really is, why it matters for organizations of all sizes, and how to start using it effectively right now.
