CHAIRMAN'S LETTER

K.R.K. Chary
Chairman

Dear Member,

The Hyderabad Chapter has achieved yet another milestone by successfully conducting the 10th Andhra Pradesh Public Relation Conference last month. It was a real festival for the PR fraternity in as delegates from all over the country attended and assembled at the conference with religious dedication. A notable feature this year is a delegate Mr. Ben Spotts, an US Public Relations Practitioner and Member of the US PR Society attended the conference his own volition. He opined “ I was impressed that we had people from all sectors Including academic and found the interactions inspiring”

It needs no emphasis that the Andhra Pradesh Public Relations Conferences is a prestigious programme in the public relations profession of the country. Meeting such expectations of delegates all over the country is an onerous responsibility on the part of the organizing committee of the chapter. However, we must say that this year’s conference was a tex book programme in organizing all India level conferences. For this we should specially thank the Chairman of the Conference Dr. C.V. Narasimha Reddi, the Seminar Director Dr. C.G.K. Murthy and the Chairman of the Organizing Committee Sri NL Narasimha Rao for putting in all necessary steps in steering the conference to a success. It is no understatement that this would have not been our pride of programmes without the dedication and hard work put in by every member of the organizing committee as well as executive committee. The chapter worked like one man to successfully conducts a programme of this magnitude.

Visit of Prof. Dennis L.Wilcox
During March, 2009 we have another very important professional programme. Prof. Dennis L.WILCOX, former Director, School of Journalism & Communication, San Jose State University, California, USA is visiting Hyderabad for three days from 24th March, 2009 to 27-3-09 and is addressing Journalism Department of Osmania University and School of Journalism, University of Hyderabad. We have seized the opportunity and invited him to deliver a lecture on “Overview of Public Relations in USA ( on 25-03-09) for which he has kindly consented. The PR bodies of Hyderabad, viz, our PRSI, FAPCCI, PRCI and GFPR have come together to organze his lecture as joint programme. An invitation for the same is enclosed with this letter with a request that you should not miss this opportunity.

National PR Day

Our chapter has been organizing a number of programmes on the occasion among which presentation of Dr.C.V. Narasimha Reddi Award for Best PR Manager and awards for toppers in public relations course in Hyderabad and giving away prizes for the winners of the patriotic songs competition conducted by our chapter on the eve of Republic Day 2009 in collaboration with DFP and Bhavan’s College of Communication and Management.
