PRSSA Vision
The Society had a humble beginning with nine alpha chapters on November 11, 1968. We have since grown to include 238 Chapters and more than 8,100 members across the nation. After 35 full years in business, we have the unique opportunity to set a course for the next stage of growth.
The Committee encourages its members to "Get Your G.E.A.R.S. in Motion!" If each Chapter focuses on Growth, Education, Advancement, Relationships and Students, then our Society's G.E.A.R.S. will turn more efficiently and more productively than ever.
The G.E.A.R.S. vision is designed to give members a frame for their work and to help them understand how their actions fit into the overall goals of the mission statement.
