GFW PRSA Celebrates 50 Years of APR
It’s time to break out the bubbly and balloons! The Greater Fort Worth PRSA chapter is celebrating the 50th anniversary of accredited in public relations (APR) this year and is planning to celebrate at an upcoming meeting.
Last year, the chapter introduced a local accreditation mentorship program, or LAMP. This year, the chapter has added an easy-to-use form on the accreditation page of the GFW PRSA site for those interested in earning the APR. To view, visit http://fortworthprsa.dividesignpros.com/accreditation/. Potential candidates can request a mentor or ask questions about the process. Accreditation Committee co-chairs Carolyn Bobo, APR, Fellow PRSA, or Linda Jacobson, APR, will then assist with the request.
Those who have earned APR demonstrate commitment to the communications profession, to their clients, to their company or organization, and to themselves. Earning the APR is an individual achievement and is recommended for those who have been in the profession for five or more years. The chapter supports individual efforts and offers scholarships to those who successfully complete the process.
