Presenters
Daniel Torchia,APR is a passionate and experienced Communications consultant; in his own words, he’s a “PR architect and designer who seeks to build or enhance entire Communications functions.” And he’s had ample time to practice – getting his first start at 13 helping his father at the Canadian Tennis Open in Montreal.
Since then he’s worked on files related to the Israel-Palestinian conflict, gangs and violence in Acapulco, parties gone wrong on spring break, PR coaching at the Vatican and, here’s the kicker, $0.99 specials on French fries.
He’s practiced the PR profession in English, French, Spanish and really bad, broken Italian throughout North America and the world – including Cuba and China – with a fortuitous and auspicious level of success. With maturity he now gives all credit to his Guardian Angel, Jerry.
Daniel is a firm believer that Public Relations plays a critical role in the quest for a just and peaceful society – but that we’ve got a massive amount of work left to do to get out of the hole we’re in.
