Invite Guests to Join Our Winning Team Roster!

This is our 2019 PRAM Central October Membership Drive, so we are asking you to refer colleagues for us to invite as special guests! Think of any peers or acquaintances you have who work in a PR-related field and who are not members of PRAM Central but might be interested in joining. Email each guest's name, title, company, email address and, if possible, phone number to Matt Westerfield at matt.westerfield@medicaid.ms.gov. You may refer as many names as you wish!
We will then send those potential members a special invitation to the October meeting. Those invitees who RSVP by Monday, Oct. 21, will attend the meeting at no costs as PRAM Central's guests. Current PRAM members who refer a colleague/peer will be entered into a $100 cash prize drawing for each guest who RSVPs and attends the Oct. 23 meeting.
