PR Masters Charters Portland, Oregon – June 11, 2021 – District 7 Toastmasters submitted charter paperwork to Toastmasters International for PR Masters Toastmasters, the newest club to join the District’s growing roster of Clubs. PR Masters was the natural outcome of a small group of Club VPs of Public Relations meeting to share ideas for attracting and converting visitors. They started meeting as a support group in mid-2020 following District 7’s bi-annual leadership training. Says Charissa Yang, Club Founder, “It’s all about helping Toastmasters learn how to promote their own clubs as effectively as possible. We help each other learn and grow – and take the skills back with us to each of our own Clubs! Think of it as a mastermind of PR enthusiasts putting our brains together to tackle PR challenges facing our Clubs or small businesses.” The Club meets on first Thursdays, 7:00 - 8:30 pm PDT (-7 UTC). Visitors are encouraged to attend and discover for themselves why PR Matters.
