If you’re involved in agricultural public relations you’ve heard of ARC, the Agricultural Relations Council. I just received this note from Jeri Omernik with an announcement of ARC activities prior to the upcoming NAMA Conference in Phoenix.
Hi Chuck:
I’m looking forward to seeing what pops up on your agrimarketing blog!
I’m attaching the ARC Spring Fling brochure for your consideration.
The ARC board is working on several efforts to strengthen the organization.
We’re looking forward to seeing people and hearing from the membership
in Phoenix!
Best,
Jeri
ARC Spring Fling
April 19, 2005 • Phoenix
Ready for some fun in the sun? Join your ARC colleagues in Phoenix for a power-packed day of professional development and networking. The program will include a presentation on the growing “agritainment” segment along with sessions on land use and water resources in the parched Southwest. You’ll also learn about all the changes that now make earning your APR accreditation more accessible. Mark your calendar now to be at the Hyatt Regency Civic Center in Phoenix April 19, immediately preceding the Agri-Marketing Conference and Trade Show!
