Vision 2020: Embracing the Next 30 Years
What makes a Fellow, a Fellow?
Jim Lukaszewski, APR, Fellow PRSA, posed that powerful question and his answer has resonated across the College of Fellows.
Becoming a Fellow, he wrote, is about the footprint left on our profession.
Induction as a Fellow reflects a commitment to excellence on the path from PRSSA to PRSA: lasting footprints on the journey to the APR and the College of Fellows. It honors those who, throughout their careers, have demonstrated superior professional performance, leadership and service. We honor the best of the best.
In 2019, the College of Fellows celebrated of 30 years of excellence.
In 2020, we are embracing the future for the next 30 years – and beyond. We call it our “Vision 2020.”
Within the next few years, a new generation of professionals will become eligible for induction into the College of Fellows. Their lives and careers have been very different from those of the Fellows who came before. (Just think about the changes in our profession since our first class in 1989.)
The next generation of Fellows will soon learn what we already know. That treasured gold medallion not only honors a lifetime of professional excellence and service – it is the hallmark for our future achievements.
Here’s to the next 30 years!
