Boost Grant

This was an eventful year for PRSSA!

We:
• restarted our blog
• created a Twitter
• took seven members to national conference
• hosted a fundraiser at the International Equestrian Competition
• created promotional materials (poster, table toppers, calendars, etc.) for Wellness Week
• sent one member to National Assembly
• developed Web content for the Honors House Plan
• assisted GCS with their High Heeled Leader Event
• attended a PRSA conference in Mid-mo

We also are working on our website (yes, AP Stylebook no longer calls it Web site http://bit.ly/c58hNU) and have been brainstorming ideas on how to improve our chapter next year.

I am so proud of everything that SC PRSSA has done this year. I was proud to write about our past achievements and our goals for the future in the AAB (alumnae association board) Boost Grant application. I was excited to sit in a room with AAB members and share a bit about our chapter with them. I was honest when I told them what we would happen if we didn’t receive the money, and how we would like to create scholarships for those who don’t have the financial background to pay for membership. And I was shaking last night when they announced that SC PRSSA had won a $500 grant.

Ladies, you are fabulous.

Thank you.
Rachel
