A cheerful and summery message from PRSA-IE President Stephanie L. Graham, APR! I'm thoroughly enjoying my Summer Fridays—how about you? These extra hours off from work during the summer (half days on Friday) have been a great opportunity to run errands, shop, catch up on household duties, or indulge in hobbies. Sometimes, I even use the time to do work for the Chapter, like writing this column! Summer Fridays offer workers the chance to take a few hours or an entire day off to unwind and recharge. You may have read that some companies are dropping this practice. Whether or not you have the luxury of Summer Fridays, I hope your schedule is flexible enough to allow you to take advantage of Chapter events and/or PRSA National's learning opportunities.
