ATLANTA - Kelsey Schmitt has been awarded the Georgia Chapter's Chapter Champion award in recognition of her outstanding volunteer work for the chapter.
The award recognizes a member who has significantly contributed to the chapter's success and is given monthly or when appropriate. Schmitt was presented with a certificate and inscribed pen at the chapter's monthly meeting at the Loudermilk Center on Friday, February 17.
"I decided to become involved in PRSA|GA after attending Real World PR in 2010, the very same collegiate conference that we're hosting today," said Schmitt. "Because I attended Real World PR, I landed my first post-college internship with Primrose Schools."
She then landed her first fulltime position with Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen and has been a communications coordinator with Popeyes for the past two years.
Schmitt graduated from Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Georgia with a bachelor of arts in journalism.
She has served on the College Relations Committee Real World Student Relations Team for two years and is leading this year's team. She has also co-chaired the Young Professionals Special Interest Group for the past two years.
Because of this type of volunteerism, the Georgia Chapter ranks as the No. 2 chapter in the nation and has been recognized for its best membership practices among PRSA chapters across the country.
PRSA|GA (www.prsageorgia.org), the second-largest local chapter in the national society, consists of some 850 professionals throughout Georgia. Its mission is to enhance the profession, provide continuing education and offer networking opportunities for its members.
The Chapter has monthly meetings as well as eight Special Interest Groups (Corporate & Employee Communications, Healthcare, Independent Counselors, Leader Board, Nonprofit, Technology, Travel & Tourism, and Young Professionals) that meet at various times.
The Chapter supports nine PRSSA (student society) groups at the following colleges: Berry College (Rome), Clark Atlanta University (Atlanta), Georgia College & State University (Milledgeville), Georgia State University (Atlanta), Georgia Southern University (Atlanta), Kennesaw State University (Kennesaw), Savannah State University (Savannah), University of Georgia (Athens), and University of West Georgia (Carrollton).
