Ethics are the backbone of our Society and profession. As students and rising professionals, we have a responsibility to ourselves, our co-workers and our clients to live up to the standards of a values-based profession. By investing time and energy in ethics-related programming for our classrooms and workplaces, we are properly preparing the next generation of public relations practitioners for the industry we all know and love.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are a few tips for strengthening a Chapter-wide understanding of ethical behavior and decision-making, both as students and professionals in the workplace:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Invite a guest speaker from PRSA or the <\/b>Champions for PRSSA<\/b><\/a> to give a lecture on ethics. <\/b>
\n<\/b>Is your Chapter interested in earning a Star Chapter recognition? If so, dedicating a meeting to ethics is a great way to engage members and professionals in meaningful conversation \u2014 and fulfill a Star Chapter requirement. Check out the guidelines for the <\/span>Star Chapter Award<\/span><\/a>, and start your Chapter\u2019s year off strong during the fall semester. Interested in inviting a speaker but unsure where to start? Contact your PRSA sponsor Chapter for potential candidates. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Participate in the Ethics Month Competition.<\/b>
\n<\/span>As PRSSA members, you are invited to try your hand at the Ethics Month Competition, an effort by PRSSA National to get members thinking critically about how ethical decision-making impacts real life. Your responses to the <\/span>case<\/span><\/a> are due no later than midnight on Sept. 30, 2016. \u00a0The PRSSA member who most thoughtfully incorporates the <\/span>PRSA Code of Ethics<\/span><\/a> into their response will be awarded a $50 Amazon gift card.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Participate in the Ethics Twitter chat.<\/b>
\n<\/span>Mark your calendars and join fellow PRSSA members and industry professionals for the Millennial Ethics: Workplace Dilemmas & Scenarios Twitter chat, focusing on ethics in our profession. Log in at 9 p.m., EST on Sept. 14 to join the conversation. Use #PRSSA to take part and share your thoughts on ethics in public relations with Chapters across the nation. <\/span><\/p>\n
