Attention politicos, it’s not time to close the book on last month’s elections just yet.  Next Wednesday, December 9, the Capital Region Chapter of the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) will host a roundtable discussion on the 2009 local election season - and Meliora Strategies has been asked to take part in the event. 

 

I’ll join Tom Nardacci of Gramercy Communications, Jordan Carleo-Evangelist from the Times Union, and Metroland’s own Chet Hardin in an open discussion on the major races, the big issues, the surprises, and what it all means for 2010. 

 
The event will be held from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. at Panera Bread, 1127 Wolf Road in Albany.  The cost for PRSA Members and students is $10; $20 for non-PRSA members is $20.  Registration begins at 7:30 a.m. 

 

For more information, e-mail info@prsacapitalregion.com.  We hope to see many of you there!
