Chapter Development Sessions

Join us on Sept 22 at 5 p.m. ET for this year's Chapter Development Sessions.

Chapter Development Sessions are presentations led by a few Chapters, where relevant and knowledgeable topics are discussed to help other Chapters succeed. During the breaks between sessions you also will have a chance to chat/network with your peers.

Chapter Development Sessions were formerly part of PRSSA ICON, but are now held outside of the Conference so that more members can take advantage of the sessions at no cost. With sessions being virtual, free and open for all to attend this year, it gives Chapters all the more reason to apply to host, attend and get more involved.

Hosting a Chapter Development Session is a beneficial way to gain hands-on experience while leaving a lasting impact on the Society. If your Chapter is interested in hosting a session make sure to complete the application by 2 p.m. Et Aug. 2. Reach out to PRSSA National Vice President of Chapter Development Sankalp Sharma.
