Experience is knowledge and knowledge is power. You’ve heard it before, but let’s put it in perspective. Each year The Plank Center honors industry leaders and mentors at its Milestones in Mentoring Gala, and more than 300 professionals leave the awards ceremony with a newfound energy and excitement for public relations. Why? Because we experience an MBA-worthy crash-course on all things leadership and mentorship. Experience what we experience and incorporate what you learn into action.
