What's the #Buzz with @MoStatePRSSA

By: Lindsay Van Quaethem
Hello out there, to everyone in the land of the interactive web. My name is Lindsay Van Quaethem and I am the President of Missouri State’s chapter of Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA). This is a national organization that works to enhance student knowledge of Public Relations, to create well-prepared professionals. Our local chapter has been around since 2006, and we currently have roughly 30 members. This year our goal is to really help our chapter grow, and this is only possible because we have such a fantastic Executive Board, these members include:
·      Vice President: Daniel Ortega
·      Director of Administration: Sara Gwin
·      Chief Financial Officer: Meredith Pearson
·      Firm Director: Sara McClendon
We are a great team, and I cannot wait to see what exciting programs we can put together this year. One new initiative we are taking on is the implementation of a completely student-run PR firm sponsored by PRSSA. For this initiative to be successful, our Executive Board created our newest Executive position: Firm Director, who as I already stated is held by senior, Sara McClendon.
This semester our Firm is working with three clients, and they include: GYN Cancer Alliance, Champion Athletes of the Ozarks and Big Brothers Big Sisters. There are quite a few community events, that each of our clients are putting on this semester and the Firm’s goal is make these even more successful than last year. I will provide constant updates about the Firm and PRSSA as a whole. With questions see our Facebook page at Missouri State University PRSSA or follow us on Twitter @MoStatePRSSA.  Thanks for your attention, keep an eye out for new posts, coming at you soon!
