Kick off the post-Labor Day season with our exclusive “Mingle with the Media” event! Join us as we bring together a diverse group of media professionals, including journalists, influencers, videographers, and tactical experts. Whether you’re looking to build connections, explore the nuances of different media channels, or sharpen your media relations skills, this is your opportunity to engage directly with the people shaping today’s media landscape. Plus, as a PRSA member, you’ll gain access to valuable tools and insights that will help you grow and succeed in an ever-evolving industry. The exact location is still to be determined but will be in Spokane.

This fun Friday event, sponsored by ChappyPants Media included a visit to DH (Desautel Hege), followed by pizza and networking at David’s Pizza, and then capped off by a tour of the Spokane Arena with their in-house PR pro. That tour included getting to meet in the hockey clubhouse, as well as watch as Monster Jam was set up. It was great fun, and meaningful for student and pro alike.

Chapter members, as well as prospective members, met to hear new president Amy Aiello give our 2024 State of Chapter. She, and other leaders, shared updates on the chapter’s progress and upcoming events and discussed ideas for the future. A small committee was born to host a regional conference in 2025. The event took place at Brick West Brewing Co.

The PRSA Greater Spokane Chapter met and learned how we as a community can help brighten the days of our most at-risk kids for Christmas (and beyond) through the Teen & Kid Closet, a free clothing store for children of all ages who are currently in foster care, experiencing homelessness or poverty.

In addition to fun, relationship building, and cold beverages, Visit Spokane’s public relations manager Kate Hudson, a fellow PRSA member, shared highlights from its recent annual meeting, gave some tips on successful media pitching, and shared more about Visit Spokane’s plans for celebrating the 50-year anniversary of Expo ’74 next summer! The event took place at Uprise Brewing Co.

Our annual Mingle with the Media was a casual evening of networking with some of our local news anchors, radio hosts, editors, producers, and publishers. Our goal with this event was to increase familiarity and promote collaboration between PR practicioners and media. This event took place at the Highball at Northern Quest.
