Dear Chapter Members,
As part of our commitment to honor the memory of Sammie Lynn Puett, The
Volunteer Chapter of PRSA is helping to send two student delegates from the
Sammie Lynn Puett Chapter of PRSSA at UT to the PRSSA Assembly in San Diego
on March 21-24.
In addition to the two student representatives, UT junior Gina Robeson plans
to attend the Assembly to run for a national position on the PRSSA board. If
Gina is successful, she will elevate UT's presence within PRSSA nationally
to the level it was back in the mid-90s when Travis Parman and Mary Beth
West were very involved in PRSSA.
In our budgeting, the Volunteer Chapter of PRSA did not include travel and
hotel fees for anyone other than the two delegates. Gina is in need of
additional funds to help offset the cost of her trip. She is a
self-supporting college student who has already paid for her own airline
ticket to the Assembly. We'd like to help her raise the additional $450 that
she'll need to cover her hotel expenses.
We are very proud that Gina wants to represent UT and East Tennessee on the
PRSSA national board. If you are interested in personally helping her,
please contact me via email or by phone at 584-0550. Any amount will be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Dan Hurst
Immediate Past President
Volunteer Chapter PRSA
