Young Professionals Event “Making a Career in Communications” – April 25

Just what makes for a successful communications career? Join us for a panel discussion by experienced communicators exploring the field’s challenges and opportunities and the lessons learned in public relations, marketing, advertising, and change management communications.

After the panel, stay to network with other communications professionals and visit a unique exhibit on Boeing’s work with the U.S. space shuttle program, from the 1960s Apollo missions to today. The conceptual models, paintings, and space artifacts in this exhibit were originally created as tools to help members of the space program visualize their ideas and communicate and sell the concepts to NASA.

Vice President, Public Relations at Boeing

Jill Folan
