Congratulations to PRSA Foundation trustee Lisa Osborne Ross for being named Edelman U.S. CEO! She will be the first Black woman to lead a PR firm of this size.

Because we are deeply invested in the mission of diversity and inclusion, we cannot ignore the hate incidents against the Asian/Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community that have been on the rise. We stand with the AAPI community and all AAPI students who have been impacted by the news of physical assault and verbal harassment as acts of racism. If you identify as an AAPI full-time undergraduate student at an accredited four-year college or university majoring in PR, know that we are advocating for you in the form of financial resources. Take a look at our scholarships and learn more about what the PRSA Foundation is doing to support students of color. https://www.prsafoundation.org/scholarships-awards/ #StopAsianHate #StopAAPIHate
