A longtime member of the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA), Bailin has volunteered her time in leadership roles with the Phoenix chapter’s professional development committee, chairing both its media breakfasts and luncheon programs for several years, and its annual awards program, which she has co-chaired three times.
