As President of the Central New York Chapter of the Public Relations Society of America, Crystal DeStefano developed and lead an invite-only, closed-door roundtable of senior practitioners to discuss the state of the public relations industry in Central New York and across the nation. PRSA thrives on the insights and expertise of senior professionals, and this new program provided an opportunity to engage these senior practitioners while developing a new resource for other professionals in the region.

This private, facilitated discussion of eight senior public relations practitioners from corporate, non-profit, agency and academic backgrounds was held on November 12th, with the support of PRSA-CNY’s president-elect Kelly Gaggin and program co-chair Leah Lazarz.  The results of the discussion and expert opinions will be formally presented in an executive summary as part of the Chapter’s Annual Report at an Annual Meeting on December 10th.
