Proud moment for Arkansas PRSA. The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette / ArkansasOnline.com is highlighting Heide Harrell, APR, director of communications for Central Arkansas Water and Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) National Chair. Heide is a past president of Arkansas PRSA and continues to represent Arkansas with excellence on the national stage. Congrats, Heide!!

When Heide Harrell works with you, she wants to know your why. She's outgoing, curious and empathetic, genuinely interested in understanding others and building connections. It's also part of her strategy.
