You’re invited! Join PRSA Lookout on Wednesday, December 3, from 5:30–7:30 p.m., at the Embassy Suites Downtown Chattanooga for an evening of connection and celebration. We’ll enjoy cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and great company while recognizing the exceptional work of our members and this year’s Crown Award winners. The evening will also include the election of the 2026 PRSA Lookout officer slate, so be sure to join us as we celebrate achievements and look ahead to another inspiring year in public relations. There is no cost to attend, and guests are invited to bring a plus one to share in the festivities!
The PRSA Lookout Chapter will once again honor outstanding public relations professionals and organizations across our region through the 2025 Crown Awards. These awards highlight the strategic and innovative campaigns shaping the public relations landscape in southeast Tennessee and northwest Georgia. The program celebrates practitioners, teams, and organizations of all sizes — from small businesses and nonprofits to corporations, student groups, and individuals. Entries are evaluated by a panel of PRSA professionals from another regional chapter and judged on innovation and creativity, planning, execution, and impact.
In addition to presenting the Crown Awards, PRSA Lookout members will vote to confirm the 2026 Officer Slate:
- President: Jeremy Henderson
- Vice President: Kristyna Selph
- Secretary: Chelsea Nix
- Treasurer: Dawn Hjelseth
- Accreditation Director: Kelly Allen, APR

- PRSSA Liaison: Dr. Joe Trahan, APR
- Past President: Marissa Bell, APR
- Director at Large, Advocacy: Pepper Raper
- Director at Large, Ethics & Diversity: Elisa Myzal

We look forward to celebrating our members, highlighting the creativity driving our profession, and welcoming the next year of leadership and growth for PRSA Lookout.
