Public Relations Officer of The Year (PROTY)

If you are actively promoting your chapter, no matter what your title is, please prepare and submit an entry in PROBE's PROTY. Note that the effort is evaluated independent of whether it was successful. PROBE membership is required for review and awards. Winners shall not again be eligible to participate at the international level for two years.

Bulletin editors can readily submit samples of their work that can be quantified and judged according to specific criteria. PR men must not only originate a submission, but provide supporting documentation with comments and/or explanation. As a rule men doing PR are not shrinking violets, and will have files and records of all recent events, so compiling the year's activities is at least an excellent review exercise. PR ideas and projects reported through PROTY entry will provide input to a central entity, and the evaluation and comments by experts will undoubtedly give better insight and knowledge to all participants.
