Become a PRSA Board Member

A Call to Leadership

headshot of Michelle Olson

Applying for and serving on the PRSA Board of Directors was, and continues to be, one of the best decisions I have made in terms of expanding and enriching my personal and professional growth. The guidance given and decisions made by Board members touch every aspect of the organization, and can truly make a difference not only for PRSA but the wider communications community.

Board members’ responsibilities include serving as the public face of the organization; providing strategic and fiscal oversight; monitoring trends, developments and priorities taking place within the profession that may have an impact on PRSA; and collaborating with colleagues on the local, regional and national levels; among many other activities.

Below you will find more specific information on the application process, including open positions and qualifications. The application deadline is April 30th.

Thank you for considering serving as a member of the Board of Directors.

Thank you,

Felicia Blow, Ph.D., APR
