The Public Relations Society of Jamaica (PRSJ) was established in 1981 as the body to monitor professional standards in the field of Public Relations. I am offering myself as President of the Society. If elected President I will uphold and maintain the spirit and ideals of the society and I would also seek to establish or to emphasize the following areas:
1. Draft guidelines for calculating the efficiencies and effects of the local PR output with a view to improving those where necessary and/or possible.
2. Develop a plan for an articulated sense of common direction that will keep the cultural values of Jamaica in our Public Relations Activities.
3. Build up a programme for the conceptual, philosophical, or financial support for local PR professionals in need of such assistance. Possibilities could be the creation of a back up fund for practitioners or self insurance.
4. Develop strategies that may be mutually shared by members for reinforcing Brand Jamaica in our PR designs.
5. Forge partnerships with Public Sector and Private Sector Organizations, emphasis on Public Sector in an effort to collaborate more with each other so that important messages for public information are not overlooked by media outlets.
6. Outline guidelines for the membership to establish or achieve constructive standards, relationships, and responsibilities for social media where they relate to PR work.
7. Design or review a Crisis Communication and Control plans for times of disasters, which dovetails with ODPEM’s national/regional programme.
8. Review the criteria for the PRSJ Awards of Excellence to ensure that it adheres to International Standards and best practice.
