So you’re thinking about running for office…

Hi, everyone!

I hope all of you are staying dry amidst this nasty weather. My hope is they’ll turn on the fountain on Herty Field now that we’ve had enough water to last a while!

Anyway, all the officers have written little blurbs about what qualities or skills a candidate might need to have for the specific offices.  I’ll post them in a couple of different posts, so stay tuned for more updates. Our first two today are the offices of secretary and PRecedent editor. Yay!

So you wanna be the secretary…

As secretary of PRSSA, email routine and organization is key.

I serve as a representative and recruiter when students inquire for more information.

It is my job to devote love and attention to my email inbox! <3

Within this responsibility, I nurture the listserv (appropriate information without flooding), organize and send the Web master internship listings, answer questions and serve as a well-presenced liaison, as well as direct any other questions I may receive.

The main project as secretary is collecting membership applications, then organizing and sending a document of all members to PRSA Nationals.

However, all semester you work hard and help serve as a cohesive part of the e-board.

In return, you build wonderful relationships with your future partners, meet and dine with active professionals and add a wonderful experience to your resume/career - all while becoming an email wiz

Good luck with elections!

- Lauren Rausch

So you wanna be the PRecedent editor…

Think you want to be PRecedent Editor? I’m here to give you the good, the bad and the ugly!

If you love graphic design and editing, you’re the one for the job. The best editor is one who can pace themselves – no procrastinators here! You’ll be responsible for getting people to write on time, so you can design on time and have it to Dr. Jones on time… you get the picture.

Your biggest challenge will be finding writers. Be prepared to visit classes to recruit writers – don’t be shy. For the first few months, I wrote 2–4 articles for each issue. All that said, I couldn’t say enough about what I’ve learned over the past year, and the PRecedent is a fantastic way to gain experience.

PRSSA Elections are Quickly Approaching!

Election time is almost upon us. I can’t believe it’s been a year already! Shoot, y’all.

For those who are thinking about running for E-board, this is the week to think about it even more. Our chapter cannot function without the leadership on the E-board, and we need a good, rockin’ class of officers for next year!

If you’re thinking about running, here are some things to consider:

- Check out the executive board officer descriptions here
- Start thinking about which office you will be a best fit for.
- This year, members will be able to run for their top three offices of choice.
- This is also a great time to set up a time to talk with current
officers about their duties.
- The application to be in the running for an e-board position will
posted later this week.

If you  have any questions about job duties of different officers, feel free to e-mail one of us. Our information is under the “Officers” tab.

I hope all of you are having a great week!
