Dear Minnesota PRSA Colleagues,
The time has come to cast your vote on the slate of nominees for open positions on the 2020 Minnesota PRSA Board of Directors.
In 2019, the chapter approved bylaw changes that opened up two at-large board member positions to non-accredited individuals and combined the positions of treasurer and secretary. These changes are reflected in the 2020 board slate put forth by the nominating committee.
The slate is listed below, and candidate bios are located here.
Executive Committee (1-year term)
- President-Elect – Jennifer Bagdade, APR, PR UNSPUN, LLC
- Treasurer/Secretary – Dave Neuger, APR, Neuger Communications Group
Directors (2-year term)
- Alyssa Augustine, Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis
- Emily Finley, APR, Marvin
- Bianca Jones, Best Buy
- Joan O'Fallon, APR, Polk-Burnett Electric Cooperative
- Jake Sturgis, APR, Captivate Media + Consulting
Some current members of the board are continuing in their terms and are not subject to re-election. As such, these directors are not included in the slate: 2020 President Dan Hauser, APR; Immediate Past President Greg Zimprich, APR, Fellow PRSA; Ethics Officer Brooke Worden, APR; Diversity & Inclusion Officer Marsha Pitts-Phillips; and at-large board members Jacque Smith, APR, and Ayme Zemke, APR. The full current Board roster can be viewed here.
Check your email to review the ballot and cast your vote. Please cast your vote by December 2, 2019. You will be asked to verify your membership with PRSA to submit your ballot. More information regarding the nominations and voting process can be found within the Chapter's Bylaws.
