Earn Your APR

Internationally recognized, the Accreditation in Public Relations (APR) integrates communications principles with contemporary strategies and tactics. The process of earning your APR takes your skills to the next level by exposing you to today’s cutting-edge strategies and practices, assessing your skills to identify strengths and opportunities for growth, and demonstrating your personal and professional commitment to excellence. Pursuing the APR gives you direct access to top public relations leaders—APR holders who will guide you through the process of achieving the Accreditation—and provides the tools you need to distinguish yourself as a luminary in the public relations field. 

PRSA Memphis offers resources, coaching, mentorship and other benefits that can help you obtain your accreditation in public relations (APR), including:

  • Reimbursement of the $385 application fee after successfully earning your APR
  • One-on-one coaching and mentorship during the process
  • Library of online and hard-copy resources and study materials
  • Guidance through the process by the PRSA Memphis APR Chair
