“PRSSA is led by the National Committee, a group of students and professionals dedicated to assisting public relations students. These volunteers are a resource to help you, and we encourage all PRSSA members to get to know the current National Committee.”

Leadership in PRSSA involves an application and interview process.  Leaders are typically juniors and seniors who are pre-certified in The Edward R. Murrow College of Communication. However, leadership roles are not limited to communication majors.  Leaders serve anywhere from 1-3 year terms.

The executive team is expected to commit 5-15 hours per week to PRSSA. The leadership group meets monthly, in addition to attending PRSSA member meetings, events and meet-ups. Leadership is also given special access and preference for exclusive member events sponsored by the club or college such as Murrow Symposium, PRSSA’s of the Palouse meetups with professionals in Spokane and PRSSA Pro Tour in Seattle.
