PRSA set the conference bar high by including a group run through Philadelphia

I learned about the Public Relations Society of America Travel and Tourism Conference through a Facebook group for another organization I’m part of — the Mid-Atlantic Tourism Public Relations Alliance.

St. Michaels Running Festival Half Marathon: I battled the heat and enjoyed the after party

I probably could have made it to the end of the race without stopping. However, part of me just needed a break — and the … More St. Michaels Running Festival Half Marathon: I battled the heat and enjoyed the after party
