PRSSA Field Trip (PAC)

Today, UWO PRSSA made a trip to tour the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center in Appleton. Tara and Maggie, who are in charge of the PAC's marketing and public relations, we nice enough to give us a grand tour of the PAC. They let us go behind the scenes, dressing rooms, on stage, and tour where the celebrities enter when they don't feel like being noticed.

Their co-worker Gerald let us in on the ins and outs of designing a stage, catering, and lighting/sound. While Tara and Maggie let us know the events that they plan in certain spaces and time-lines of fundraisers they have managed in the past. Planning 400 events, the PAC is always up and running. They rent out certain spaces within the PAC, even planning some weddings!

The PAC has a room for all occasions, holding press conferences, meet and greets, cast parties, etc. Since the PAC is a non-profit, they stressed the importance of thanking your sponsors; they are the reason you are holding all of the events that you have. Sponsors need to know that they are appreciated.
