PRSSA Vision

Get your G.E.A.R.S in Motion!

The Public Relations Student Society of America humbly began with nine alpha chapters on November 11, 1968. We have since grown to include 284 Chapters and more than 9,600 members across the nation. So after 35 full years in business, we have the unique opportunity to set a course for the next stage of growth.

Accordingly, the PRSSA 2003-04 National Committee proudly announces its theme for the year and the vision for the future of the Society. The Committee encourages you to "Get Your G.E.A.R.S. in Motion!" If each Chapter focuses on Growth, Education, Advancement, Relationships and Students, then our Society's G.E.A.R.S. will turn more efficiently and more productively than ever.

Our mission statement explains why we exist, but our new vision explicates our direction. The G.E.A.R.S. vision is designed to excite members, to give them a frame for their work, and to help them understand how their actions fit into the overall goals of the mission statement.

The following vision statement to see how PRSSA is becoming the premier pre-professional organization for students in public relations.
