Having articles included in local publications or being interviewed on local radio or television is a wonderful way of getting the benefits of Toastmasters to our communities. Please let me know if you get any media coverage and I will include it here. Share on Facebook and tag @District 71 PR and #WeAreToastmasters – your message will be seen by many and I can then display it proudly on our District website.
Chantal Cooke (#ChantalCookePR) of Panpathic Communications is a Public Relations agent retained by Districts 71 and 91 to help us obtain national press coverage. See here to read the article writing brief and you might win tickets to the next district conference.
