Which officer should chair the POA public relations committee?

• A. President
• B. Vice President
• C. Reporter
• D. Secretary

Answer: (C)

Public relations is about sharing the chapter’s story with the outside world. The officer tasked with communicating with the public—sending out news, updates, and coordinating with media and the community—is the Reporter. Because the POA public relations committee focuses on outward communication and promoting the chapter, the Reporter is the natural person to chair it, ensuring messages are consistent and reach the right audience. The President leads the chapter overall, the Vice President supports the President, and the Secretary handles records and correspondence, but none are as closely aligned with public-facing communication as the Reporter.
