Mark your calendars for the first-ever Virtual Connect Conference. Members of South Carolina Public Relations Society of America and International Association of Business Communicators/South Carolina welcome YOU to join us for a half-day conference featuring three unique sessions. |
There will also be some “social” time for attendees to catch up with colleagues from around the state. |
