Joan Chwala, who teaches at Gilman Elementary School, puts her WEAC Summer Academy training to use at the National American Legion Auxiliary Convention in St. Louis. Using skills she learned in the Summer Academy's Public Relations session, Chwala succinctly made her case in arguing against a motion from the floor. "Using the tips that I learned as a part of my workshop at the 2003 WEAC Summer Academy, I prepared my message," Chwala said. "I considered what I wanted my audience to remember, what I wanted my audience to believe, and what I wanted my audience to do. I was passionate, personal, and included supporting evidence for my message." The delegation listened, and voted with her. Chwala and her colleagues are also putting their public relations skills to use locally. The Gilman Education Association will be honored at the WEAC Convention October 30 with an Outreach Award for a local public relations program called "Live and Laugh with Literature."
