Now, approaching the third year of its existence, I&#8217;d like to take the blog to the next level with your help. Here are some things we&#8217;ll be working on this year:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"unIndentedList\">\n<li> <strong>Sharing knowledge<\/strong>. One thing that always amazes me is the depth of the organization. If you <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\">Google<\/a> &#8220;PRSSA + blog,&#8221; you will find some awesome Chapters with blogs: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ohiouprssa.org\/\">Ohio University<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/uhprssa.wordpress.com\/\">University of Hawaii<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/ugaprssa.blogspot.com\/\">UGA<\/a> among the top search results. If you <a href=\"http:\/\/search.twitter.com\">search<\/a> &#8220;PRSSA&#8221; on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\">Twitter<\/a>, you&#8217;ll find lively discussions between members across the country. This blog will work on capturing that depth by aggregating the content that is important to you. This will help connect you with students across the country. We&#8217;ll link to posts and share insights. The Internet is a powerful tool and is helping us advance the profession and the future professional.<\/li>\n<li> <strong>Event podcasts and video<\/strong>. Did you know the Society hosts nearly 20 national and regional events each year? We have <a href=\"http:\/\/www.prssa.org\/conference2009\/\">National Conference<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.prssa.org\/assembly2009\/\">National Assembly<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.prssa.org\/news\/rally.aspx\">Leadership Rally<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.prssa.org\/events\/regional.aspx\">Regional Activities<\/a> &#8211; all offering Professional Development opportunities for you. Chances are you aren&#8217;t able to attend all of them. Recap posts, videos and podcasts from those at the events will be on this blog so we&#8217;ll be able to learn together.<\/li>\n<li> <strong>PRSA Sections<\/strong>. In an effort to better link PRSSA with PRSA, you&#8217;ll also being seeing posts from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.prsa.org\/networking\/sections\/\">PRSA Professional Interest Sections<\/a>. Because there are so many different forms of public relations, you&#8217;ll benefit from the varied experience of professionals in one of 19 groups.<\/li>\n<li> <strong>Trying new things<\/strong>. Finally, as we learn more about blogging and social media in general, I encourage you try new things. Get your own blog &#8211; many platforms are free, such as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\">Blogger<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wordpress.com\">WordPress<\/a>.
