How many of you still write postcards when you go on vacation? Take time to hand-write a thank-you note? Send birthday cards?

New Member Spotlight: Emily Marsh:

Please join us in welcoming Emily Marsh, College Director of Communications & Marketing at NHTI—Concord's Community College, to PRSA!

A New Hampshire native originally from Wolfeboro and now living in Concord, Emily's career has taken an inspiring path—from freelance illustrator creating artwork for board games to leading communications and marketing for one of the state's leading community colleges.

Along the way, she discovered a passion for helping organizations tell their stories, developing marketing strategies for art galleries before expanding her work to nonprofits and, in 2025, joining NHTI.

For Emily, one of the biggest professional challenges has been knowing when to take the leap—leaving meaningful work behind to embrace new opportunities and new directions.

She joined PRSA to connect with fellow communications professionals, exchange ideas, and keep pace with the ever-evolving world of marketing.

Outside of work, you'll find Emily on the community theater stage, rolling dice in a game of Dungeons & Dragons with friends, or discovering Concord's newest restaurants. And one day? She hopes to spend a month exploring Italy's incredible art, architecture, and cultural treasures.
Welcome to PRSA, Emily—we're excited to have you as part of our community!
