HPCA is a supportive community of self-employed or freelance communications professionals. We offer networking and professional development opportunities that help you grow and succeed in your career. We also provide a "virtual water cooler" that keeps you connected and helps fight the isolation you can sometimes experience working solo!

Meetings and Events

Client Relations Seminar

Love or leave 'em, your clients are the lifeblood of your business. And while they can drive your business they can also drive you crazy.

Join the Halton-Peel Communications Association (HPCA) on May 14th at our Client Relations Seminar as we discuss ways to not only survive your clients' demands, but take your relationship with them to a new level. This interactive workshop builds on the successful pricing session held last January to explore further how to:

  • work with clients more effectively
  • "romance" the client: moving from one-off projects to long-term relationships
  • deal with “project creep”, raising rates, setting boundaries and other challenges
  • prevent pitfalls and wrong steps

Professional facilitator Faye Wales, one of the panelists from our January session, returns to work her magic at keeping the discussion lively.

When: Wednesday, May 14th
Time: 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Where: Oakville Central Library, 120 Navy Street (corner of Lakeshore Road & Navy Street)

An RSVP is required. Members are free, while guests pay $20. Send your RSVP to Joanna Turlej at joanna@adoragraphics.com.

Don’t delay as room space is limited. HPCA members and their guests get first priority to register until May 5th. If there are still spaces available, the meeting will be publicized to groups with similar interests.
