[quote]The future of public relations relies largely on education. I am thankful for the outstanding faculty who support public relations students in their personal and professional development.

-Heather Harder, 2013-14 PRSSA National Vice President of Member Services
[quote]I am thankful for the resources PRSSA and PRSA provide for their members. Without all of these different opportunities, I think myself and other young professionals would not be as prepared to enter the industry.[/quote]

-Don Egle, APR, ABC, 2013-14 PRSSA National Professional Adviser
[quote]I am thankful that public relations stands for so much more than “Press Release.” The wide array of personal and professional, emotional and intellectual skills required to be an outstanding public relations professional makes this profession exciting, challenging, exhausting, influential, and critical. Without a doubt, I am most thankful for the people I have met and worked alongside of while being in this business. There is something special about people who want to help others succeed and the pr professionals I know do just that.[/quote]
