Joan-Patricia O'Connor, a graduate student at the University of Southern California and one of the two "token" students on PRSA's Committee on Student Organization, took the initiative. In 1973, she presented to the PRSA Board of Directors and Assembly a resolution calling for PRSSA to be managed by students. The Assembly and Board, led by Betsy Plank, 1973 president of PRSA, gave their formal approval during the PRSA Annual Conference in November in Honolulu.
