Accreditation
The Alabama PRSA chapter is committed to promoting and assisting Alabama public relations professionals interested in taking their careers to the next level by becoming Accredited in Public Relations (APR). As accreditation increases best practices in public relations and promotes excellence in the profession, Alabama PRSA encourages pursuit of the APR, and to that end, offers classes and one-one-one mentoring to interested PR practitioners. The Alabama PRSA chapter is proud to be one of the highest APR-earning chapters in the country. For more information about training courses and/or a mentorship, contact one of the APR chairs listed below.
