MEMBERSHIP LUNCHEONS
Monthly membership luncheons feature guest speakers from all aspects of public
relations and marketing. The luncheons also provide members the opportunity to
network with other professionals. Topics include: media relations, case studies,
crisis communications, special event planning, best practices, and others.
IMAGE AWARDS
The Image Awards competition is conducted annually by FPRA's Orlando Area
Chapter to recognize outstanding public relations programs in Central Florida
and to encourage and promote the development of public relations
professionalism. The Image Awards have become a standard of public relations
excellence. The awards competition includes four divisions of entries: Public
Relations Programs, Printed Tools of Public Relations, Audio/Visual Tools of
Public Relations and Student Projects in Public Relations. Awards are presented
at an evening celebration each April and an Outstanding Public Relations
Professional is also honored at the conclusion of the program. The program is
modeled after and leads up to the statewide Golden Image Awards competition held
on a state level.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOP
An annual program for PR practitioners of all levels. Top professionals in the
field of public relations will share their insights and experience in a forum
where members can sharpen their PR skills, learn new strategies and network with
peers.
ROAST & TOAST
This fundraiser is the largest annual event that the Florida Public Relations
Association's Orlando Area Chapter hosts. For the past 24 years, FPRA has chosen
outstanding members of the local community to be the target of good-hearted
jabs, jokes and stories to raise scholarship funds for the communication
programs at the University of Central Florida and Rollins College. Thanks to the
generous support of our community, to date we have raised over $500,000 and are
providing future leaders of this community greatly needed and deserved financial
support.
MEDIA ROUNDTABLE LUNCHEON EVENT
Designed to help cultivate media relations, an interactive roundtable program
gives public relations and marketing professionals time to meet with media
representatives in small, group settings. Local television stations, newspapers
and magazines participate by sending reporters, editors and producers to offer
valuable insight, advice and tips for getting your story to the right people.
This half-day event also features a keynote luncheon speaker.
BOSSES BREAKFAST
Bosses Breakfast is a meeting of experienced professionals who manage other
professionals and/or provide public relations counsel. The event is designed
to offer advice on topics of special interest, and provide a forum for idea
exchange and networking.
