Coro Fellow Placed at APADRC

by Charles Chang, Executive Director

Parsa Sobhani, a Fellow from Coro and Charles Chang, APADRC Executive Director

For about three weeks, Parsa Sobhani, a Fellow from Coro was placed at APADRC to work on media strategy.  APADRC does not have a dedicated media relations manager which hinders our ability to constantly promote ourselves and our programs to the media.  Parsa developed a media strategy that will help us maintain a presence in the media in order to bring about awareness of our programs and events.  Although it was a short placement, it definitely expanded our ability to work with the media.

The Coro Fellows Program in Public Affairs annually exposes 12 individuals to all aspects of the public affairs arena through in the field placements in business, labor, governement, media, non-profit and political campaigns.  The program builds effective leaders by preparing individuals through experiental immersion to assume leadership positions across all sectors.  Additionally, site visits, interviews, individual and group projects prepare Coro Fellows to translate their ideals into action to improve our communities.

Coro is constantly looking for a diverse group of Fellows for their program and are looking to recruit more Asian/Pacific Islanders.  The next application deadline is January 22, 2010.  Contact Sam Filler, Recruitment Manager, at 213-346-3219 or sfiller@coro.org for more details.
