How does membership in PRSA assist you?
In my past positions, I have been tasked with various job descriptions and duties at the same time which led me to have little time for networking and training. PRSA allowed me to quickly tap into a variety of resources very quickly and at any time of the day or night. I was able to connect with local PR professionals as well as nationwide.
PRSA’s members are professional, knowledgeable and very supportive and are the organizations best asset.
