Ahmadiyya Muslim USA hosts 4th annual PR seminar in NY “Your organization is as good as your PR”, B. Venkatesh, (Fellow AIM)
The 4th Annual Public Relations Seminar held this past weekend at Bait-uz Zafar in Queens, New York was a world-class, high-powered event. The seminar illustrated techniques and provided information which PR persons can implement to achieve the desired objectives as set out by Hazur (aba). Zinda M. Bajwa Sahib led the Media Team Steering Committee and informed the more than 85 delegates from various 44 Ahmadiyya Muslim Community National chapters about the importance of effective public relations. The seminar was deliberately "aggressive and ambitious" to generate enthusiasm for action among all participants. During the course of the two-day seminar held the past weekend, delegates were given an intense orientation on the broad national objectives underway. The basic premise was to develop plans at the local chapter level by increasing awareness and engaging with elected officials at a grass roots level. This is critical for raising concerns about Religious Discrimination and Human Right issues at Capital Hill. With specific targets to accomplish the delegates set April 11 as the deadline to meet elected U.S. officials armed with facts and to inform them how AMC is impacted both at home and abroad. The message to deliver is not ‘please help us’ rather ‘what can we do to help you!’
