Bring your questions and get ready for a lively small-group discussion.

Sages leading table discussions will include

· Cyndy Garza of HEB,

· Henry de la Garza of de la Garza Public Relations

· Terry Hemeyer of Pierpont Communications,

· Carolyn Mayo of Vollmer,

· Stephen Stuyck of M.D. Anderson Cancer Center,

Girls will have the opportunity to learn more about the profession, as well as participating in role-playing activities based on crisis scenarios.

We will cover four key areas: press kits/campaigns, social media/Web 2.0., the written and spoken word and event planning.
