There’s no tired like #NSPRAtired. But as I was flipping through the moments captured this past week, I forgot about this moment, just before the sun set on my flight home from #NSPRA2024 in Seattle. Friends, remember—even if you can’t see beyond the clouds surrounding you—there’s hope and light on the horizon. You’re never alone in this crazy world of #schoolPR. Your @natlschoolpr family stands with you, ready to support, love, and help you. Don’t know where to start or who to call? Start with me. 💜🫶🏻

"I believe there are a handful of 'giants' among us in school communications, and Erica Chandler, APR, is certainly one of them. Her dedication to our field, as well as her passion, experience, and vision, make her the ideal candidate for NSPRA President-elect. I enjoyed getting to know Erica while serving as President of the Illinois Chapter of the National School Public Relations Association (INSPRA). I can confidently attest to her commitment to excellence and ability to inspire and support those around her. Erica clearly understands the challenges and opportunities in our field, and combined with her innovative approach and strong leadership skills, she will undoubtedly elevate NSPRA to new heights. I wholeheartedly endorse Erica for President-elect and believe she will make a significant positive impact on our profession."
