Gratitude in Action: Honoring Our PRSA NE Community

By Brittney Ryba

November invites us to pause, reflect and give thanks. At PRSA Nebraska, we’re full of appreciation for the people and partners who make our mission possible.

This month, we invite you to share what you’re thankful for in your PR journey. Tag us on social or send a note — we’d love to highlight your reflections.

We’re thankful for our board members, committee chairs and past presidents who lead with vision, empathy and a commitment to elevating the profession. Their behind-the-scenes dedication fuels our programming, mentorship and advocacy efforts year-round.

We’re equally grateful for our members — from seasoned strategists to emerging voices — who bring curiosity, creativity and courage to every campaign, conversation and coffee chat. Your presence strengthens our community and reminds us that public relations is, at its core, about connection.

To our generous sponsors, thank you for investing in Nebraska’s communications community. Your support helps us host meaningful events, offer professional development opportunities and build a stronger, more connected network. We couldn’t do it without you.

We’re also thankful for our PRSSA chapters at Creighton, Wayne State College, UNL and UNO. Gratitude goes to everyone who made the joint PRSA NE and PRSSA October program a success — from our inspiring panelists (Jen Rae Wang, MBA; Jayme Sandberg, APR; Tracey Christensen, APR; Katie Wessel) to host Andrèa Subitoni and student organizers Trevor, Grace and Cady. Special thanks to board pros Betsy Emmons, Ph.D., APR, and Claudia Bohn for their behind-the-scenes support.

Here’s to the power of storytelling, the generosity of leadership and the joy of growing together. Celebrate with us Dec. 17 at the Paper Anvil Awards!
