The PR profession marches forward this year

1 Nov

For the past four years, I have acted as the Assembly Delegate (among other positions) on the board of the Akron Area Chapter of the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA). This volunteer position requires me to work with the Akron Area Chapter board, officers, committees and members to make decisions on behalf of the chapter’s nearly 110 members at the PRSA Assembly, which was held in Washington, D.C. this year.

This year, W. Thomas Duke, APR, Fellow PRSA, and I attended the Assembly and voted on proposed amendements and other changes to national bylaws that would affect the more than 22,000 PRSA members nationwide. This video recaps the Assembly, my thoughts on it and the future of the PR profession.

Be responsible, help a cause!
