Testimonials
What our members say.
“Just what I needed”
Having the opportunity to spend several hours a week with experienced PR professions while learning new skills and sharing ideas was just what I needed in order to take the next step in my career.
Allison
“Gave me instant credibility”
Earning the APR accreditation gave me instant credibility within the communications industry, with the news media and with my co-workers. It validated my experience and skills. It also gave me self-confidence.
Tom
“Above and beyond”
The chapter’s APR sessions process went above and beyond my expectations [and] helped me put the puzzle pieces together…I am [now] asked to be in the room and to provide counsel during difficult conversations.
