Worldwide, people aren’t sure what public relations role is in the workplace. Public relations is a planned communication that builds relationships between organizations (What is Public Relations). Someone who works in the public relations field can find themselves doing a number of tasks daily. Planning, implementing, researching, and evaluating are just some of the key tasks when working in the field (What is Public Relations). The main goal of public relations is building a reputation for a company since in today’s competitive market reputation can make or break a company. The main goal of public relations is to manage and spread information to create a favorable image for the organization through various media outlets. (Public Relations).

Higher overall GPA: Executive Committee can help the chapter receive a higher GPA by promoting more study sessions, review sessions through older sisters for younger sisters, and not pushing members to go to a social event when it is obvious they need to be studying for a big test. EC needs to set the standards that grades still come first over social life, which I feel like sometimes is pushed to the background.
The class from last year grew our chapter to help us be more involved and grow as a group. Some of our activities from the year include a candidate project where the candidate class comes up with a service project, plans it as well as complete it before initiation. Also we participate in homecoming, Hunt for Hunger, and career development panels.
In five to ten years, we expect our chapters to have at least one annual philanthropic event that supports the local community in addition to an ongoing relationship with a local school or agency where members can perform service hours and provide books for children. We know our chapter will consistently be a positive influence in the Clarksville community, the Middle Tennessee region, and beyond. Campus Involvement Goals: We expect our chapter to be active and enthusiastic supporters of the other Greek-letter organizations on the Austin Peay State
In years past, the Nebraska NAMA chapter has struggled to keep members active throughout the year. There was a lack of communication between the officer team and its members, organizational issues and not enough opportunities for students to be involved. In order to improve this, the officer team made sure to offer a club meeting or activity every month with advertising done through emails, Facebook and Twitter, flyers, and announcements. Our officers recognized that members needed multiple ways to learn about the meetings and have plenty of time to mark it on their schedules.
I will also promote organization, such as by implementing the use of Best Buddies Binders, where officers can place notes from both officer meetings and chapter meetings, all meeting agendas, attendance sheets, donation sheets, and other important documents. To improve as a chapter, at the end of each quarter officers and advisors will meet and complete evaluations as a group based on what we have improved on and what we need to improve on. We will pinpoint what worked well and what we should do differently to provide the best possible Best Buddies experience for all. We will also continue to utilize social media, such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Remind 101, by updating these accounts with pictures, videos, stories, and announcements weekly. If selected as CP, I would also work with officers and advisors to spread the message of Best Buddies and increase membership, such as by having an announcement at Freshmen Orientation and “advertising” Best Buddies in our school magazine and/or on the BMHS Pride Time Instagram

There is some advantages of being a Public Relations Commissioner. For example, when I apply for colleges in the year 2020 I can put in my resume that not only I have been in leadership but also did a lot of community service. Another advantage is that I get to be a part of a team that's goal is to make sure students at SHS make awesome memories. Finally, an advantage of being a Public Relations Commissioner is I, myself will make good memories just by being in leadership. That's why I, Jada Smith want to be a Public Relations Commissioner

When the term public relations are heard, there is not an immediate understanding of the career, let alone its writings. The lines of the responsibilities of a public relations professional are often blurred and confused. However, the Public Relations Society of America composed a specific definition to help with the confusion: “public relations are a strategic communication process that builds mutually beneficial relationships between organizations and their publics” (“About Public Relations”). Breaking down the definition a bit shows exactly what public relations is about – “mutually beneficial relationships” (“About Public Relations”). Professionals work to create and maintain various relationships, whether it be with journalists or clients, that will yield positive results for all parties involved. In an interview, Vallerie, who works in public relations, revealed she interacts “with upwards of 20 different people” daily (Mackillop). Publics are generally thought of as the general public population; this is true to an extent for public relations. A public is “anyone who ever has or ever will form an opinion about the client” (Roost). This means that it is possible to have more than one public that a professional is dealing with for their work.
"Public Relations is the management function that establishes and maintains mutually beneficial relationships between an organization and the publics on whom its success or failure depends." (Effective Public Relations, 2005, p.1)
