| The Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) is the world's largest organization for public relations professionals. Its primary objectives are to advance the standards of the public relations profession and to provide members with professional development opportunities. An important element to the Society's growth and development is the advisory input and creativity of a large body of leadership from within the membership. PRSA's Board of Directors, committees, councils, and task forces provide guidance and direction at the policy and operational levels of the Society. The names, addresses, phone and fax numbers and e-mail addresses of PRSA members are expressly intended for informational purposes or to communicate informally with other members, but are not to be used for any commercial or research purposes whatsoever.
