Sarah Yeaney, National President
The National Committee is here to answer any of your PRSSA questions, but so are your peers. PRSSA-Talk is a community listserv open to past, current or prospective members. Anyone can post questions, comments or even ideas about local/national events. Talk is also used as a communication vehicle for national programs and announcements. To register, check out the following site: http://www.prssa.org/community/prssa-talk.asp. This tool is another way to help all Chapters focus on the G.E.A.R.S. vision.

This award honors a PRSSA member who has excelled in a public relations internship. The award winner will receive a $300 award and a formal national certificate. A certificate also goes to the place of the internship to recognize the winner's place of internship for supporting the growth of PR students.
