On Feb 3, 2017

The Organization of American Women in Public Relations (Women in PR USA™), a group developed to connect women leaders in public relations across North America,  announces the addition of nine new members to serve on the organization’s national advisory council in 2017. Deirdre Breakenridge, CEO of Marlboro-based Pure Performance Communications, is among the council members.

“Our membership will greatly benefit from the experience of these women leaders,” says Talia Beckett Davis, president of Women in PR USA and founder of Pink Pearl PR. “One of our main goals when forming this organization was to provide a place for women to thrive earlier in their careers and to strengthen the capabilities of established leaders in the PR industry.”

Advisory Council Members will be officially welcomed at a launch celebration in New York City on June 8, 2017 (Women in PR New York™). The organization is building chapters across the USA.

Directors are located in cities across the USA. The others include: Shonali Burke (Washington, DC), Gini Dietrich (Chicago, IL), Abbie Fink (Phoenix, AZ), Shannon Furey (NJ), Michelle Garrett (Columbus, OH), Rebekah Iliff (San Francisco, CA), Crosby Noricks (San Diego, CA), and Nicole Rodrigues (Los Angeles, CA).

Women in PR USA™will be proactively reaching out to event partners, sponsors and PR industry leaders over the coming months to seek input into future activities.

The team is committed to maintaining a high caliber of programs for members and aims to become a thought leader and influencer in the field of public relations. Women in PR USA is the only organization across North America dedicated to advancing women in the field of public relations.

“When women get together we can move mountains. Women in PR USA is the supportive community that will foster great connections and shape the future of women in PR,” says Breakenridge.

The Organization of American Women in Public Relations (Women in PR USA™) is a division of The Organization of Canadian Women in Public Relations Ltd. Together, our organizations form the networking group Women in PR North America™.
