2011 Seminar open for registration

Join fellow public information officers from throughout North Carolina on Friday, Nov. 18 for the N.C. Association of Government Information Officers (NCAGIO) Annual Seminar. This year’s seminar will take place at the Friday Center on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Registration begins at 8 a.m. with the seminar starting at 9 a.m. and ending at 4:30 p.m.

The NCAGIO seminar marks one of the best opportunities for professional development and a chance to network with other public information officers.

The NCAGIO board is putting together a comprehensive seminar geared toward helping you do your job as a communicator more effectively and efficiently. But this event is also one of the best opportunities to trade ideas and best practices with each other.

Highlights of this year’s seminar include a discussion with keynote speaker Dr. William C. Friday, president emeritus of the University of North Carolina system. Dr. Friday will offer his perspectives on the genesis and long-term success of public television’s North Carolina People. Also featured is a presentation from town of Garner representatives on how to handle a media frenzy when your community becomes home to the next “American Idol.” We’ll also announce the winners of this year’s Excellence in Communications Awards. Stay tuned for more details on the program as they develop!

Once again, we have reduced the cost of the seminar to $40 for members and $50 for non-members. Lunch will be provided as part of the seminar cost. Also, we will have morning and afternoon breaks for those of you needing your coffee and refreshments fix.

Attached is the registration form. You may also find the form on the NCAGIO website at www.ncagio.org and on the NCAGIO Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ncagio.
