The PRS works with a number of talented individuals who are always willing to donate their time and resources when it is needed most. Just as the PRS helps other groups who need consulting, we also call upon specialists to lend their expertise to our organization. Some of these individuals we have met in person, while others communicate with our society via email and phone conversations when distance precludes face-to-face meetings. Either way, we thank them for all that they do.
If you are interested in donating your expertise to the PRS in a smiliar fashion, please email us here.
