National Organization of Women in PR USA Names Michelle Garrett of Garrett Public Relations to Its Advisory Council

Columbus, OH, October 20, 2016 --(PR.com)-- The National Organization of Women in PR USA announced today that Michelle Garrett, founder of Garrett Public Relations in Columbus, Ohio, has been appointed to its Advisory Council.

American Women in Public Relations (Women in PR USA™) is a sister organization to the Organization of Canadian Women in Public Relations (Women in PR Canada). Together, the organizations form the networking group Women in PR North America™.

The organization was developed to enable groups of women leaders in public relations across North America to come together to share ideas, contacts and experiences, and to advocate for major issues directly affecting women working in the PR industry today.

"As an experienced public relations executive and business leader, who has been published as an expert in top PR blogs such as Ragan's PR Daily, Muck Rack and Spin Sucks, Michelle is an invaluable partner in building our new organization," said Talia Beckett Davis, President & Chairwoman, American Women in Public Relations. "We needed a strong player like Michelle on our Advisory Council to help spread awareness of our mandate and to help propel women into leadership positions in the PR field across the USA."

"As the field of public relations continues to evolve, women need the support of other women to thrive in our profession," Garrett said. "While many women work in our industry, there's still a gender gap in leadership roles. Women in PR USA will help the female leaders of tomorrow break through that gap."

The organization is building chapters across the USA and the official launch celebration will be held in March 2017 in New York City (Women in PR New York™).
