Tips from Elaine Hendrix

Hey!

Well as my blog states, I will not only be talking about public relations but fashion and really anything that entertains me.

Elaine Hendrix, an actress and animal activist, was recently interviewed by Mr. Media on Blog Talk Radio. I called in to ask a few questions. She gives her advice to any young actresses trying to get into the business and also talks about her involvement with In Defense of Animals, www.idausa.org, and her other animal activist movements.

Alpha PRoductions 2010 Conference

Hey All!

Yesterday, March 1, Alpha PRoductions hosted its first conference! It was a huge success and the leadership did a FANTASTIC job! Alpha PRoductions is a student-run PR firm at the University of Florida. I have been involved with the firm for the past two years. The firm is a subset of our PRSSA Alpha Chapter.

I'll give a brief overview of what was taught to the 25 associate members.

There were four sessions that the students rotated through:

1. Creative Communications

2. Uplifting Leadership

3. Effective Interpersonal Relations

4. Financial Fundamentals

Each session was meant to be informative yet conversational. I learned several things but the most important was that Alpha PRoductions offers a professional experience in a very supportive culture. The firm was started in the 80's to give students real-world campaigns in a professional setting. I can honestly say that today the firm lives up to its original goal.

I have learned so much through the firm and have to thank Erika Zayas, Jessica Osorio and Micana Gallaway for putting on a FANTASTIC conference.

In the past year there have been many changes to the firm but I know they are all for the better. I am proud to be part of the organization!
