Meeting/Event Information
The Hampton Roads Virginia Chapter usually meets on the first or second Wednesdays of selected months. Meetings typically consist of networking, lunch, a little chapter business and a guest speaker on a topic of interest to public relations professionals, PRSSA students, and guests. They're great for getting to know fellow public relations practitioners, expanding your professional horizons and scoping out the job market.
Prices are normally $35 for PRSA members and military, $25 for students and $45 for nonmembers but may vary for special programs.

The chapter's annual salute to local PR excellence in programs and tactics -- the Pinnacle Awards Luncheon -- also includes the presentation of the local "PR Practitioner of the Year" and "Rising Star" awards for individual achievement.
