As we all enjoy this holiday season and look forward to the beginning of a new year, I would like to say thank you to all of your who took time to make PRSA Tulsa part of your year. What an incredible year! I have so enjoyed serving as president and working with a talented and invaluable PRSA Tulsa Board of Directors. Thank you to the Board and everyone who led or served on a committee this year. PRSA Tulsa wouldn't be possible without the volunteer leadership.

You will want to read below about some of the highlights of the latter half of this year including the 50th Anniversary APR Dinner, the PRSA International Conference in Washington, D.C., the inaugural PRSSA Shadow Week, and our own Steve Turnbo's exciting award. Our city and our chapter were well represented at the International Conference. Christopher Payne, APR was officially inducted into the PRSA College of Fellows and Steve Turnbo, APR, Fellow PRSA, was honored with the Paul M. Lund Public Service Award. 

I've been working closely with Melissa Clark, 2015 PRSA Tulsa president on plans for next year and I can say with confidence that they will not disappoint. There are some very exciting things on the horizon for our chapter, so don't miss out on the opportunity to be a part. And, while we're on that topic, be sure to let Melissa know if you would like to get more involved. Our volunteer committees are where the magic happens, so be sure to sign up!

Thank you again for allowing me to serve the chapter as president this year. It has been an incredible experience and I can't wait to see what's ahead.
