PRSA-NCC's Volunteer Appreciation Night

Have you worked hard on a PRSA committee this year? Are you a sponsor? If so, join us on Tuesday, August 3 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.

Location: Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) 1201 Maryland Ave., SW, Ste. 900 Washington, DC 20024

Metro: Smithsonian or L'Enfant Plaza Metro stations

This is a free event for PRSA members only, but registration is required. Includes light food and beverages.

Come to a free networking reception to celebrate the volunteer efforts of those who make the National Capital Chapter one of the most successful PRSA chapters in the country. This is also your opportunity to find out how you can become better engaged in the chapter by working on a committee or running for the board of directors. Getting involved in the chapter and working alongside your colleagues is the best way to develop your leadership skills and build meaningful professional networks.

We also will discuss:

*Importance of volunteering as a way to give back to the community

*Benefits of being active in professional associations and other groups

*Motivating and managing volunteers.
