College of Fellows

Who are the Fellows?

The College of Fellows is an honorary organization within PRSA comprised of more than 400 senior practitioners and educators, each of whom has left a significant footprint on the public relations profession. The College is celebrating 20 years of leadership and legacy. Learn more from our chair.

Most members of the College of Fellows retain their membership in PRSA, and are held to the standards set forth by the PRSA Code of Ethics, membership in the College of Fellows implies a higher standard since the College's members are the viewed as the role models for the profession. The new Standards of Excellence approved by the College of Fellows Executive Committee, clarifies the standards to which we hold our members.

PRSA Fellows are involved as:

• Speakers at PRSA Chapters and PRSSA universities.
• Representatives on the PRSA National Nominating Committee and National Leadership Assembly.
