This webinar is being hosted by PRSA on February 4, 2021 04:00 p.m. – 05:00 p.m. ET, and it will be available for one year.

Please join moderator Kirk Hazlett, APR, Fellow PRSA, for an in-depth look at the state of ethical communications today from the perspective of leading entrepreneur, philanthropist and founder of the online classified ads service craigslist, Craig Newmark, whose own personal standards have influenced tens of thousands of others.

As we cautiously ease into the new year, the importance of open and honest communications is top of mind. Public relations professionals in particular face daunting challenges as their publics focus more and more attention on not only the “words,” but also the deeper meaning of those words.

Prior to this, he was associate professor of communication and public relations at Curry College in Milton, MA, for more than a decade. In January 2018, Kirk was appointed as PRSA Tampa Bay Chapter’s first Ethics Officer. In this capacity, he has launched an active awareness program to help guide members through ethical challenges. In addition to his leadership with the Tampa Bay Chapter, Kirk has served PRSA as a member of the national Board of Directors and has held leadership positions with the Board of Ethics and Professional Standards (BEPS), the Educators Academy, the Northeast District, and the Boston and Hawaii Chapters.
