Priorities of the PSA

The original priorities of the Professional Staff Association were established through a brainstorming session with the membership, followed by a vote. Each year the PSA Executive Committee reviews the previous year's accomplishments and then develops a proposed list of priorities for the new year which are submitted to the membership for approval and ranking.
