​5 Reasons why you should apply to be on the 2016-2017 Executive Board

3/23/2016

0 Comments

 
My time as the vice president of the  Illinois State University Chapter of the Public Relations Student Society of America has been short, but has been one of the most rewarding experiences I have had in my college career. I gained a level of confidence in my leadership abilities that never knew I could possess. I networked with some amazing professionals in the public relations industry and expanded my knowledge beyond the classroom. Here are five reasons why you should consider applying for next year’s executive board.

1. Networking
 As an executive board member, it is required that you attend every agency tour, PRSA
 dinner, and national and regional conferences. This may sound time consuming, but is one hundred percent worth the time because these events have the capacity to lead to job  opportunities and much more. 

2. The friendships made within the executive board
The executive board must lead as a team and we spend a lot of time together. This is one
of the best perks of being on the executive board because the friendships made can help in your professional career. 
 
3. Fantastic resume builder
A common trend that I have noticed in applying for jobs in the public relations, communications, and even the marketing field has been the ability to lead. The executive board gives you the opportunity to put your leadership skills to the test.

4. The experience of leading a star chapter
The ISU PRSSA Chapter has received six PRSSA Star Chapter awards since 2009. Being on the executive board opens up the opportunity to continue that success.

5. Increase in confidence
 Throughout my time as a public relations major there have been times where I question whether it was the right choice for me. Being on the executive board has helped me find confidence in my communication skills and ability to be successful in the field.
