Happy Hour at Ra Sushi

On Friday, Aug. 17, we got together for happy hour at Ra Sushi in the Fashion Show Mall. We started planning for our next event -- a PIO and journalist social on Sept. 25 -- and discussed the overarching goals for the group.

Here's our list of objectives for the club. It's a work in progress, so let us know in the comments if you think something should be added, changed or subtracted.

NAHJ Nevada Goals:

• Build positive relationships and lifelong friendships among the press corps
• Strengthen the ties between the press, public relations professionals, and Hispanic community leaders so our coverage will be more complete
• Promote development of technical journalistic skills through workshops, conferences, and mentorships. Help facilitate this growth with scholarships and fellowships.
• Advance the careers of our members by promoting their work and publicizing job opportunities. Advance diverse hires by connecting with employers.
• Identifying and addressing issues inherent in English and Spanish media outlets (ethics, stereotypes, quality control)
