5 Reasons to Be a Member of Both NSPRA AND Your State/Regional Chapter

Chapters offer their members state/regional-level learning opportunities and supports, often through webinars, conferences, listservs, awards programs and networking events. Their affiliation with NSPRA provides nonprofit status and dedicated training opportunities and support for chapter officers. 

Check out how becoming a member of both NSPRA and your chapter can help grow your professional community, expand your knowledge, learn best practices and more.

  1. 🌐 Expand Your Network: Chapter membership allows school public relations professionals to connect with colleagues across their state and region. Expand that community to colleagues around the country with NSRPA membership! NSPRA members can browse the NSPRA Connect online forum for a collection of “how tos” and best-practice topics or post a question to get insight from peers. Recent topics on the forum include:
  • How do I prove the value of the role of communications and PR? 
  • How do I build a business case for a bigger communications budget? 
  • What are other districts doing to prepare for Generative AI in schools? 

  1. 🌱 Grow Through Professional Development: Tap into learning opportunities relevant to your area with chapter membership. Become a member of NSPRA to take advantage of year-round professional development to elevate your skills and work like:
  • 25+ webinars a year on timely school PR topics–FREE for NSPRA members
  • Career advancement programs like NSPRA Academy, Mentor Match and the Leadership in School Communication program
  • Learning cohorts designed to get started on earning your accreditation in public relations (APR)

  1. 📚 Expand Your Library of Resources: Chapter members regularly share samples, templates and resources with each other. NSPRA members can tap into a vast repository of samples and resources from school communicators across the country. Accessing resources available to both chapter and NSPRA members can help you develop and implement programs, initiatives and campaigns more efficiently.

  1. 🔔 Stay Updated: Learn about industry hot topics and stay up to date on the latest news and professional best practices through monthly webinars and newsletters on both a local level with chapter membership and on a national level with NSPRA membership.

  1. 🚀 Advance Leadership Skills: Gain invaluable leadership experience at both the state/local level with chapter membership and at the national level with NSPRA membership through speaking opportunities, serving as a mentor, participating in NSPRA Connect forum discussions and more!
