‎“This is a program where we bring women who are PR practitioners together to discuss influence and change, and how PR professionals can work diligently with the media,” Brown stated.
‎
‎“For the past ten years, we have been able to help women who are PR practitioners in their field of work by equipping them and building their capacity so that they can influence positively in their society, community, and the workplace. That is what we have been doing.”
‎

‎Key Takeaways for Practitioners
‎paticipants, Matilda Effuah Amissah-Sacky, shared lessons from this year’s edition. She said the summit reinforced the importance of learning from mistakes and pursuing growth in every professional setting.
‎
‎“What I have learnt today is that when I mistakenly do something, I don’t have to see it as something I can’t correct. I have to learn from my mistakes so that I won’t repeat them. Wherever I find myself, I have to achieve something new, whether at events or other occasions,” she said.
‎
‎Amissah-Sacky also stressed the need for preparation ahead of programs. “I always need to do research about people coming for the program before I attend. It helps me ask relevant questions during the program.”
‎



‎She further highlighted data protection, urging participants to be intentional about sharing personal information. “When it comes to data, it is important for everyone to protect their information. When filling forms or attending programs and they ask for our details, we need to ask what they are using it for, so that the information we are providing will not harm us later.”
‎
‎The 10th Women in PR Summit continues with sessions aimed at strengthening leadership, media relations, and professional influence among women in communications.
