AAPA PR Workshop to Focus on Crisis Communications
The American Association of Port Authorities is focusing its 2013 Public & Government Relations Workshop on crisis communications and management, it said. The workshop will be Feb. 21-22 at the DoubleTree Hilton Hotel San Pedro, in Los Angeles. It will include an interactive crisis planning session and a half-day crisis communications tabletop drill. "In today's world where the news cycle is nonstop and transparent communications are expected, especially in the public sector, it's vital that public affairs and government relations professionals have the skills to communicate effectively under pressure," said AAPA President Kurt Nagle.
