Sarah Yeaney, National President
Our G.E.A.R.S are in motion, and PRSSA is hotter than ever. It is never too late, or too early, to think about national leadership; I encourage you to connect with a National Committee member today. See you in New York City!

Bridgette E. Wright, Vice President of Chapter Development
Attention Chapter Treasurers! Has your chapter produced a profitable FUNdraiser? Share your success story in the new FUNdraising Manual. The FUNdraising manual will launch in December so submit your entries today!

Mike Keliher, FORUM Editor-In-Chief
I have a special request for anyone going to National Conference: Take some good pictures! I want our winter issue to feature the cool stuff that happened at Conference, and pictures are an important part of that. The same is true for all other events around the country, too. To make FORUM great, I need stories and pictures submitted.

Scott T. Iwata, Vice President of Member Services
Have a successful recruitment tool that works every year? Do you have a special thing you do during each meeting to get your Members G.E.A.R.S in motion? If so it is time to share them on the PRSSA Best Practices Forum. Share your ideas with others across the country.
