Dear friends,
As 2022 draws to a close, I reflect on one of my favorite quotes from Winston Churchill – “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” The OCPRSA community is full of those who live a life of service, from our wonderful sponsors and supporter agencies who give their talent and treasure to advancing the PR profession in Orange County, to the outstanding board of directors and committee members who give their skillsets and strategic minds, to the many mentors in our YoPro program ushering in the next generation of pros – the list goes on. It is through this spirit of giving that our ecosystem thrives with continuous ripple effects and we all benefit. In 2022, together we’ve worked toward and seen a return to well-attended and content-rich signature events, a thriving Young Professionals program, second place for the 2022 Chapter Diversity Award at the PRSA International Conference, and much more. As I pass the baton of the presidency to the very capable Elena Bosch, APR, I do so with a grateful heart for while my year as your president was undoubtedly full of personal giving, the deep relationships and experiences I’ve received will last a lifetime.
Thank you to 2022 board and committee members, chapter members, and our supporters for an amazing year and all you do for this community. I hope you enjoy this holiday season and check out many of your OCPRSA friends at the recent holiday party HERE.
Cheers!
Patty Conover
Vice President, Community Relations Manager, Bank of America
