Member Benefits

Membership in PRSA is an investment in your future. It provides a platform from which to learn new ways of doing business and to make long-term, meaningful connections with other practitioners that will open doors to new opportunities.

"Membership in PRSA has so many advantages ... but as I look back on my years of membership, learning from peers — those much younger and some older — has meant the most. Every meeting, every conference, every newsletter has been a classroom."

—Roger Pynn, APR, past president, Curley & Pynn Public Relations and Strategic Communications

"When I declared myself a Public Relations Practitioner, back in '69, I had no experience, no real skills and no clients. One of the first things I did was join PRSA, because I wanted to go to some professional development seminars.
Now that I'm teaching PR, I look back at my career and realize how much I have gained from my involvement in PRSA. My students would be amazed at where I really learned all this theory I'm teaching. Most of it came from seminars, workshops and speakers at National Conferences.
Most of them don't realize it, but all those people I know in New York, Washington, Atlanta, Miami and Los Angeles, I met through my committees, board service and leadership roles in the Sunshine District and PRSA national.
Finally, had it had not been for PRSA I would never have met Pat Jackson, on whose philosophy and teachings I have based my career and my teaching. In other words, I 'owe it all' to PRSA."

—Frank Stansberry, APR, University of Central Florida
