Senior-level communications counselors discussed industry trends and challenges – including how to reach a new community of stakeholders with social media.“In our industry it is so important to stay on the cutting edge of new technology,” said Terrie Ard, APR, CPRC, president of the FPRA Board and senior vice president of Moore Consulting Group (pictured above with MCG Vice President Jim Hunt, left, and Deirdre Breckenridge, center). “In the communications world, social media has to be in the mix to cut through the clutter of an increasingly competitive marketplace.”
