FROM PRSA HEADQUARTERS:
We hope you are all looking forward to the holiday season.
We're in the final stretch for membership in 2001 and know that many of
you have colleagues, friends and co-workers who may benefit from PRSA
membership. Since many organizations end their budget year on December 31,
now is a great time to utilize those remaining public relations funds by
investing in PRSA membership for your public relations professionals. PRSA
encourages individual professional advancement and provides access to the
many benefits of the world's premiere organization in public relations.
We are asking you to help with recruitment and as a thank you, we'll provide
"PRSA Dollars" to every member who recruits at least one new member!
Our Member-Get-A-Member campaign has been extended until December 31,
which means we'll be waiving the $65 initiation fee until the end of the
year. This is a great time to communicate with colleagues and also allows
you to be rewarded with PRSA Dollars, a chance to win round trip airline
tickets and an opportunity for your chapter to win great prizes as well.
Also, don't forget that public relations professionals with less than one
year experience pay only $115; those with less than two years experience
pay $155; and PRSSA members who have graduated within the last two years
pay only $60 for the first year's dues (Associate Membership). Many
chapters have a reduced dues rate for Associate categories.
Keep in mind that the PRSA Assembly voted to change the membership
eligibility requirements. Unemployed individuals may now qualify for PRSA
membership, as long as their work history in the last five years meets the
eligibility requirement. If you know of anyone unemployed who may benefit
from PRSA membership, please pass along this message!
You may download the membership application from our Web site or apply
online at www.prsa.org (click on the "Member-Get-A-Member Campaign" icon)
or call Member Services at (212) 460-1490.
Please help us allow others to experience the great benefits of PRSA
membership!
We wish you a very happy and healthy holiday season.
