URL: From spriem at hotmail.com Tue May 24 11:39:48 2016 From: spriem at hotmail.com (Shannon Priem) Date: Tue, 24 May 2016 11:39:48 -0700 Subject: [OrCapPRSA] Important PRSA Chapter update Message-ID: Below is an important message from interim president Jill Peters on the progress of our chapter negotiations toward a statewide PRSA Chapter. Whether you are a chapter member, or interested in the future of PRSA in our area, please join the conversation. Let us know what you think of the proposed charter. If you don't get the attachment from this email, it is copied below Jill's message. Dear Capital Chapter Members and Friends: At our last PRSA Chapter meeting in December 2015, we shared with you that we did not have enough volunteers to serve as Chapter board members, so we were not meeting the requirements for a PRSA Chapter as set by the national PRSA organization. We also explained that we were exploring a proposal to merge with the Portland and Greater Oregon (Eugene-based) chapters to create a single statewide PRSA chapter. Recently, Harvey Gail and I met with representatives of the other two Oregon chapters and created the attached Charter for a committee to work on forming or merging into a statewide chapter. Please read the proposed committee charter and let me know if you have any feedback. Also, please indicated if you would be interested in serving on the committee or a subcommittee. Thanks for your continued support, Jill Peters PRSA Committee Charter Oregon Statewide Governance Committee There shall be a limited duration joint task force of the boards of the Greater Oregon, Oregon Capital and Portland Metro chapters of the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) to be known as the Oregon Statewide Governance Committee (the ?Committee?) with purpose, composition, authority, duties and responsibilities as follows: A. Purpose The purpose of this limited duration Committee is to investigate whether our collective governance challenges would be solved by forming or merging into one statewide chapter, and if so, to recommend -- and spearhead -- a pathway forward.
