Where there is another day, there will be another corporate, political or celebrity scandal. Eliot Spitzer and Kwamee Kilpatrick are certainly bearing the grunt this week, but there are bound to be others. This much I know.
How is it that there are so many people who are talented, motivated and successful that fail in the [...]
Like most Greenville natives, I can list off all of the amazing transformations this city has seen over the past 15 years. When I was in high school, my friends and I couldn’t wait to get out of this place – surely there had to be life past the Pizza Hut on East North Street [...]
Since we’re close, personal friends now I can let you in on a secret. I love being busy. I love having lots of projects on my plate and I really dig public relations and writing. So, when I plan to embark on a project, I like to tell everyone around me…This keeps me on track [...]

Alright, so I sent my APR application form in yesterday via snail mail to the Public Relations Society of America. I’m interested to see how long it takes for me to hear a response.
And I also sent the 14-page questionnaire to the APR Accreditation Chair for him to review. I am taking advantage of his previous [...]
I am fortunate enough to have an APR Accreditation Chair at PRSA Upstate that helps me through the whole Accreditation process. I just finished my candidate questionnaire, which is 14 pages long and covers my experience in public relations, an example of a recent PR plan, as well as my knowledge in communication theory. I [...]
