Past Presidents Council

Chaired by the Chapter president from two years prior, the Past Presidents Council is composed of all chapter past presidents, who provide senior level advice on the challenges of continued growth and prosperity of the Arkansas Chapter of PRSA. The council judges nominations and selects recipients for the Diamond Award (an external award to someone who has made significant contributions resulting in the enhancement of Arkansas' image), and annual Crystal Award (given to a chapter member for service to the community or profession of public relations).
