The Volusia/Flagler Chapter of the Florida Public Relations Association has appointed its first Latina president in the chapter's nearly 50-year history.

Johanna Santana, from Puerto Rico, is joined by Sasha Staton, from Venezuela, who is serving as president-elect, "making this leadership duo a historic first for the chapter — a testament to its commitment to fostering inclusive and visionary leadership," a press release stated. Santana, Staton and the rest of the chapter’s board were installed on Sept. 28.

"I'm honored to be part of this moment in our chapter's history,” Santana said. “Alongside President-Elect Sasha Staton and our board, we are dedicated to elevating the PR profession, supporting our members in their journey to success, and cultivating tomorrow’s leaders.” 

At the FPRA Annual Conference in August, the FPRA Volusia/Flagler Chapter accepted the President's Award for Student Engagement for the second year in a row, earned under the presidency of Christine Martindale. Additionally, Chapter Member Cindi Lane earned the 2023 Doris Fleischman Award.
