Communications and public relations executives need to be leaders and drive their organizations, not just report on what they’re doing.
That’s the message Maril McDonald, the Chief Executive Officer of Gagen McDonald, made on my debut podcast to promote her presentation, “The New Public Relations Agend and Becoming an Architect of Change.” It will be on Tuesday, Jan. 19, at the Sheraton Clayton Plaza Hotel during the joint meeting of the Community Service Public Relations Council (CSPRC) and the St. Louis chapters of the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) and the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA).
Maril is currently serving in her second term as president of the Arthur W. Page Society. In 2009, she was named to PRWeek’s Power List and was named one of the 50 Most Influential Women in Public Relations.
