MailChimp Newsletter
This is a sample newsletter I put together in MailChimp for Liberty Public Relations Student Society of America while I served as the Director of Communications and Finance. I incorporated an event recap and important chapter updates. I also collaborated with the Director of Publications and her writing committee to include a current events section. View how I designed the full newsletter in MailChimp.
