RE: 1994 PUBLIC RELATIONS AND CRISIS COMMUNICATIONS SEMINARS -
AGENDAS PROVIDED FOR CHICAGO AND BOSTON
__________________________________________________________
Three more one-day seminars on public relations remain on the
Institute's 1994 calendar. Agendas for Chicago and Boston are
attached. The agenda for San Francisco will be similar for the
morning session, and identical in the afternoon.
Chicago -- Wednesday, November 2
Boston -- Thursday, November 10
San Francisco -- Thursday, December 8
TOPICS TO BE COVERED
These seminars are designed to provide participants with basic
information on how to run a successful public information/public
relations program in the mutual fund industry. Leading public
relations executives in the fund industry will present this
information, which will include insights into the operation of some
of the most successful public relations programs in the industry.
A panel of financial journalists from major national and regional
news organizations, including Money Magazine, will explain what
information they need from you -- and the best way to communicate
with them. And they will answer your questions.
In addition, the afternoon session will be entirely devoted to a
special workshop on crisis communications, which will be conducted
by Robert Irvine, president of the Institute for Crisis Management.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
* Anyone responsible for developing publicity for a mutual fund.
* Anyone in a position to respond to the news media.
* Anyone with management responsibility for, or liaison with,
marketing/advertising/public relations.
* Anyone interested in a better understanding of what PR can do.
