To celebrate Giving Tuesday, we are happy to announce that applications are now open for the 2023 Purpose PRogram! For the fourth year in a row, Scott Circle Communications is offering our no-cost public relations training to D.C. area nonprofits.

Since the Purpose PRogram launched, we have trained ten students - which means we have helped ten DC-area nonprofits elevate their profiles. That means these non-profits can help more people in our community. After our training, our students had the knowledge to:

• Pitch local TV successfully

• Place an OpEd in The Washington Post

• Revamp a newsletter

• Plus other communications successes!

Scott Circle Communications President Laura Gross offers executive positioning takeaways from Kathy Hochul's press debut via PR News.

Former managing editor for opinion at U.S. News & World Report Robert Schlesinger has some tips to help PR pros place op-eds.

Hocus Pocus is a classic Halloween movie… Through the characters and a one-night Hallows Eve adventure we are taught how to be authentic, better communicators, and good advocates.
