When I was an undergrad in college I was president of our PRSSA Chapter, but worked with a professor to develop a competition at an IABC conference. I found that both are great organization and as the PR field develops I think PRSSA, as well as PRSA, is bringing in more IMC and general communications. Once again, great post Adam.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06066964150005357843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-89039726597427478.post-35874392751100426882008-05-27T14:47:00.000-07:002008-05-27T14:47:00.000-07:00I think a lot of the distinction of PRSA as the me...I think a lot of the distinction of PRSA as the media relations organization and IABC as the general communicator's organization comes from their origins. PRSA was started by people with a strong emphasis on media relations. IABC was started by people with a focus on internal communications. At least that's how it was explained to me some 20 years ago. My view is that you get from an organization what you want from it, so pick one and get involved enough to get some benefit. If your organization is large enough, make sure you have a mix of membership between IABC and PRSA within the communications department. Then you get the publications, access to the resources, and discounts on conferences for both groups.Elder Bryan Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08246289176701066566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-89039726597427478.post-73771553667018659062008-05-05T14:58:00.000-07:002008-05-05T14:58:00.000-07:00Thanks for your post, Adam.

I'm amazed at what you do with blogs, podcasts, Facebook, Twitter and the rest. It's because of people like you that the profession is evolving.Devin Knightonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03298670127138205983noreply@blogger.com
