Celebrate with us Thursday, January 11, 2018
Join us for an evening of industry networking as we celebrate the launch of Mastering Business for Strategic Communicators, a newly released book by Matt Ragas and Ron Culp.
Mastering Business provides strategic communications and PR professionals with a rare view of the leadership roles played by top communicators inside some of the most well-known brands and organizations. In a collection of more than 20 essays from current and former Chief Communications Officers, the authors show us the business areas that communicators help convene, integrate and translate across their enterprises and to external stakeholders.
Kick off the new year with cocktails and conversations with local industry leaders, and as a bonus, Matt and Ron will be signing copies of this must-read book.
Kindly RSVP to Jess Kacmar at j.kacmar@gagenmac.com or 312-841-6618 by January 8, 2018.
