What’s in Store?
You don’t want to miss this year’s Egyptian-themed event. Thoth (pronounced “tot”), the Egyptian god of communications, will have a special role this year. We can’t tell you all the details, not even how he found himself, and his pyramid, in Herndon — we need to keep the suspense so we will see you at the Gala; but be prepared to start the evening with a fun networking reception followed by an elegant Awards program to applaud this year’s public relations “gods.”

Celebrate your profession. Congratulate your colleagues. Enjoy the magical evening that awaits you.
