Call for Nominations by July 14: Director-at-Large Special Appointment

PRSA ECD currently has a Director-at-Large vacancy and is aiming to fill this seat in July/August 2023. PRSA ECD board service is beneficial in a myriad of ways, including collaborating with colleagues at the Chapter, District, and National levels; working on a wide range of projects and events; informing PRSA ECD’s strategy and initiatives; contributing to PRSA and the PR industry at large; and so much more. It has been one of the most rewarding experiences for me, and I know it could be for this future Director-at-Large as well. 

This new Director-at-Large will fulfill the duties of this position until the end date of Dec. 31, 2023. The option for inclusion in the 2024-2025 election will also be available.

  • Participating in all Board meetings, assuming an annual committee assignment, attending one in-person board meeting (fall), and performing other duties the Chairperson and Board may assign.

  • Advising and recommending policies, procedures, plans and programs to the Chairperson.
