BABJA & PRSA present "Reinventing Yourself"

The following is a video overview of the kind of event the Bay Area Black Journalists' often co-sponsors with other organizations. Here, BABJA co-hosts a professional networking forum with the Public Relations Society of America - San Francsico Chapter.

Attendees were able to network with each other and, during the panel discussion, hear firsthand accounts from successful PR and media professionals
who have faced the uncertainty of the media's future by turning their skills, experience and passions into careers they now control.

The Panelists:
- Gill Alexander, Host, The Betting Dork (Former on-air radio personality)

- Valerie Coleman Morris, Author/Speaker (Former Bay Area newscaster/CNN Business Anchor)

- Michael McAlpin, Director of Media Relations, St. Mary's College (Former journalist)

- Maureen Nelson, Manager, Oakland Private Industry Council and Private career coach/resume writer
