Still Time to Register for FPRA's "New Media Tools" Seminar with Jan Luongo, APR on Mar. 10 in Lakeland

Friday, March 6

The Dick Pope/Polk County chapter of the Florida Public Relations Association (FPRA) continues to accept reservations for its "New Media Communication Tools" professional development seminar on Tuesday, March 10 in Lakeland. The seminar will feature Jan Luongo, APR, president of Tampa-based Alliance Communications, as guest speaker.

Luongo, who has counseled, written and lectured extensively on public relations and won many awards in her distinguished 20-year public relations career, will teach attendees how to use blogs, search engine optimization in press releases, social media like Facebook and My Space, RSS feeds and other contemporary tools to enhance the effectiveness of their PR campaigns.

The seminar, which is open to all PR practitioners in Central Florida, is scheduled for 8:00 am to 10:00 am at The Estates at Carpenters in Lakeland. The admission fee of $10 for FPRA members, $15 for non members and $5 for students includes a light breakfast.

"In survey after survey, our FPRA chapter has found that PR practitioners want to learn as much as possible about new technologies and how to use them. As a result, we have invited Jan to teach us how to make full use of blogs, social media and other new tools," said Jim Frankowiak of Coastal Public Relations, who is chairing the seminar.

FPRA members and others with an interest in PR and communications can register for the seminar by sending an e-mail to Frankowiak at jim@cprg-web.com. Information is also available on the FPRA website www.fprapolk.org/home. For directions to The Estates at Carpenters check out www.estatesatcarpenters.com.
