“I’m In, Are YOU?” 
 
Join guest speaker Harold Kaufman, vice president of communications for the New Orleans Hornets, when he shares insights of the organization's public relations and marketing effort to pursue 10,000 season tickets in the face of an NBA lockout.

Having joined the organization at the time of its inception in the summer of 1988 directly upon graduation from college, Kaufman now enters his 21st season with the Hornets heading up all communication aspects for the organization. Kaufman, who serves as the team spokesman, oversees all media and public relations aspects including publications and all sports and corporate publicity efforts involving the owners, team and organization. Kaufman is a member of the Public Relations Society of America and was voted as runner-up for the Outstanding NBA Eastern Conference Public Relations Director award by writers and broadcasters nationwide in 1992 before the NBA changed the award to a lifetime achievement recipient annually. He also has served a couple of terms sitting on the NBA’s PR Advisory Board.
