April is APR Month, where PRSA celebrates the Accreditation in Public Relations across all our chapters. 

WHAT IS THE APR? 

The prestigious Accredited in Public Relations (APR) is a mark of distinction for public relations professionals who demonstrate their commitment to the profession and to its ethical practice. They are selected based on broad knowledge, strategic perspective and sound professional judgment. Learn more.
