Central California Chapter
Benefits of Chapter Membership
Professional Development Seminars
We regularly host seminars that offer a deeper dive into specific topics, providing a more focused and engaging learning experience. These events are designed to foster meaningful dialogue, encourage professional growth, and allow attendees to connect directly with industry experts and peers.
Accreditation (APR)
Accreditation in Public Relations (APR) is the only professional certification program open to public relations professionals, and is administered by the Universal Accreditation Board (UAB), a consortium of 10 leading industry organizations, including PRSA. PRSACC helps candidates prepare for the Examination for Accreditation in Public Relations and assembles readiness review panels when candidates come forward to declare intent to sit for review.
