Join Chapter Presidents at the PRSSA Leadership Rally

The heat may be dry, but the content is not. From networking to breakout sessions to Chapter sessions, the weekend is an event your Chapter President will not want to miss! Register by May 10.

NATIONAL COMMITTEE UPDATES
Submit Your FUNdraising Bowl and Chapter Development Session Applications
Vice President of Chapter Development, Brian Price
This is the last call for submitting bids for the FUNdraising Bowl and hosting a Chapter Development Session at National Conference. The FUNdraising Bowl only takes a few minutes to fill out an application and could lead to two free registrations to the National Conference. Chapter Development Sessions are your opportunity to teach the Society about your best practices and insights. Take the stage and teach others what you do well. Both deadlines are at the end of the month.
