About Us > Our Board





Our Board

The Board of Directors of PRSA-Philadelphia is a body of volunteers comprised of seasoned public relations professionals from business and industry, agency, healthcare, not-for-profit, and high-tech backgrounds. Their job, with the help of committees that report to the board, is to manage the chapter's operational and financial needs, as well as to execute marketing, special events, publicity, and program management.

If you are looking for ways to build your network of contacts, gain valuable volunteer experience, participate in new aspects of the field, and to contribute to the furtherance of the profession, please contact the Board. We would love to have you on the team!!
