The South Australian division of the Public Relations Institute of Australia (PRIA) has elected Leila Henderson as its new state president, following the resignation of Leigh McClusky last week.

McClusky was one of a number of PRIA national board members who resigned en masse last week following the ousting of Terri-Helen Gaynor, in favour of new PRIA national president Mike Watson.

While Henderson takes the state presidency, the new South Australian PRIA national board representative will be Cait Tynan.
