DISCERN

 
Why did you join PRSA and what is one of the membership benefits you enjoy the most?
I joined just a couple of years ago and could have kicked myself for not joining sooner. The webinars and timely educational events help me to stay on top of trends in the field quickly and effortlessly. Given that I run all marketing channels - including PR - for my firm, time is the biggest and rarest gem in my life - so thanks, PRSA!
