\"14NationalAssembly\"<\/a>The PRSSA 2014 National Assembly<\/a> is an event dedicated to leadership training and Society development. The Assembly gathers each spring to also make influential, long-term decisions about the future of the Society, elect a new National Committee and review the bylaws. This year\u2019s Assembly, March 13-16<\/b> in Charleston, S.C.<\/a>, is one that promises to provide an impactful experience for attendees. There\u2019s a lot to know, but here are my top reasons why you should attend National Assembly.<\/p>\n

Leadership Experience
\n<\/b>National Assembly has a long-standing tradition of being the breading ground for the following year\u2019s leaders. Develop your style and thought process as a leader throughout the Assembly<\/a>, the program includes sessions on leadership discovery, leadership communication and the integrity of a leader. Attendees can also learn from those running for the PRSSA National Committee<\/a> during Saturday\u2019s election of the 2014-2015 national leaders.<\/p>\n

Two Chief Executive Speakers
\n<\/b>Attendees will hear from established leaders in the public relations field. Not one, but two<\/i> chief executives at major agencies will share their thoughts. First, GolinHarris CEO Fred Cook<\/a> will share his unconventional rise to the top during Friday\u2019s special session. Sunday morning, Deveney Communication\u2019s Founder and President John Deveney, ABC, APR, Fellow PRSA<\/a> will deliver the keynote address. Deveney, a member of the PRNews Hall of Fame, led PR campaigns that rallied Louisiana and New Orleans tourism post-Hurricane Katrina and again after the BP oil spill.<\/p>\n

Cost
\n<\/b>This event at this price cannot be missed. Delegates have their hotel covered by PRSSA and their registration fee waived. Are you kidding? That\u2019s a deal that can\u2019t be turned down. Registration for non-delegates is only $60. When you break it down to dollars, National Assembly just adds up.<\/p>\n

Day-of Competition
\n<\/b>Sign up to be part of the Day-of Competition<\/a>, where small teams have one hour to put together a full-scale public relations campaign for a client. The campaign is developed in a fun, fast pace, competitive environment and the winning team receives a prize!<\/p>\n

Charleston
\n<\/b>Charleston, S.C. is famous for its rich history, charm and tasty cuisine. The last three years, CN Traveler has voted Charleston the best city in the U.S.<\/a>, even claiming the number one city in the world in 2012. This coastal city will provide great opportunities for exploration and creativity.<\/p>\n
