Building Back the Economy




The April PRSA GA luncheon featured a packed house of local PR professionals gathering to learn about the current state of Georgia’s economy. The event featured a distinguished panel led by former Atlanta mayor, Sam Massel (Buckhead Coalition). The other panel members, Ken Heaghney (Georgia State University), Don Beaver (Cobb Chamber of Commerce) and A.J. Robinson (Central Atlanta Progress) discussed the importance of staying positive and uniting as a community during these trying times. The panel also emphasized the need to strengthen the relationship between the city and state in order to help facilitate the economic recovery.
PRSA GA President, Mike Neumeier (Arketi Group) presented Ruth Mitcham (communications 21) with the monthly Chapter Champion Award. Spotted in the crowd was Lois Rossi (Manheim), Mickey Nall (Ogilvy), Brian Boudreaux (Arketi Group) and Lisa Pitrof (BusinessWire).
