Chapter Champion Award

This award recognizes PRSA Georgia members who have gone the extra mile in service to the Chapter. The award is presented on a monthly basis, or as appropriate. Eligibility for the award includes all Georgia Chapter members who go above and beyond the call of duty as a Chapter volunteer.

A successful chapter runs on the talents of its volunteers. The Chapter Champion Award recognizes the hard work of our dedicated members. All PRSA Georgia Chapter members who go above and beyond as Chapter volunteers are eligible. The Chapter Champion Award is presented at the Chapter’s monthly luncheon meeting.

March’s Chapter Champion is Laura Burr. Laura serves as one of our chapter’s Newsletter Co-Chairs, ensuring our members have all the information they need to engage with the chapter.

“Being a member and volunteer with PRSA Georgia gives me the opportunity to take the skills I’ve learned in my career and help master them in a different setting, and vice versa,” said Laura. “PRSA Georgia has helped me grow my networks, strengthen my PR capabilities and create friendships with people I may not have met otherwise.”

Laura’s day job is Assistant Account Executive at Arketi Group in Atlanta. In her role supporting B2B tech clients, Laura leads PR initiatives including media relations, strategy development and execution, as well as assisting in GTM strategy, website development, messaging and branding. In addition to PRSA Georgia, she is a volunteer coach for Girls on the Run Georgia. She graduated from the University of Georgia with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Public Relations with minors in Spanish and Fashion Merchandising.
