Dear Friends,
It
is a true honor to be elected President of Antelope Valley Public
Relations Officials for 2010. I am excited at the prospect of
bringing the PROZ vision to our community, growing our organization
and developing a cause related outreach strategy that best exemplifies
the spirit of our committee.
Spirit…what
an awesome word! Other descriptive words for spirit include strength,
courage, character, guts, will, strength of mind, fortitude, moral
fiber, determination, chutzpah, and heart. As I look at both past
and present board members for PROZ, I find each and every one
of you embody these very qualities. Fortunately, as we face a
world of diverse people with different ideals, backgrounds and
beliefs, these qualities empower us, affording the opportunity
to build relationships in our community and to consistently promote
the concept that public relations, is indeed, everyone’s
business.
We
have faced many challenges in 2009 as individuals, in our businesses
and across our great nation. Yet, we move forward with conviction,
dignity, and most importantly, with empathy. It is empathy and
understanding that will bring the PROZ organization to the forefront
of our community. One small step creates two more steps that continue
until we reach our goal.
It
is based on this philosophy that I invite each and every one of
you to speak of PROZ wherever you go and with whomever you meet.
Encourage attendance at our meetings and work to grow our organization.
While we all bring our own individual talents and contributions
as members, we should always strive as a team to make PROZ an
extension of whom we are and what we do. Be mindful of compelling
and informative guests you feel will support our mission and extend
an invitation to them to attend and/or join our group.
Finally,
I ask that we reach out to others. It is important that as an
organization we identify needs in our community, embrace causes
close to our hearts and make a commitment to give back. Only then,
can our mission come to fruition. Only then, can we truly say
we have served. As a community representative for Hoffmann Hospice,
I have discovered the importance of ‘life and making the
most of every moment”.
I
am so proud to be a part of this great organization and look forward
to vast growth this year. Always remember…. “Teamwork
Makes the Dream Work.”
Blessings,
Brandi
