If you’re looking for reasons to attend the PRSSA 2009 National Conference, you’ll find plenty: Networking with professionals and peers. In-depth learning. Community service. Exciting socials. Oh, and did I mention it’s in San Diego?

For five days, students from the far corners of our Society will join the profession’s leaders in sunny California for our premier event of the year. From freshmen to seniors and even graduate students, attendees at all experience levels can expect a dynamic time of learning and excitement at the National Conference. If you’ve attended past Conferences, you know how fun and valuable they are to your future–and this year is no different.

So, flip through this program, research the speakers, book your flight and register soon. You won’t want to miss out! If I or the 2009-2010 National Committee can be of help, don’t hesitate to contact us.

I look forward to seeing you in November!

Rebecca Timms
2009-2010 National President
