| | PRSA Districts | | PRSA's more than 100 Chapters are organized into 10 Districts, as indicated below. PRSA members are encouraged to join a Chapter, and more than 90% do. Members must belong to PRSA National in order to join a Chapter. There is no District membership. Many PRSA Districts offer annual conferences that provide valuable professional development and networking opportunities locally. These conferences are open to everyone.
The conferences generally rotate among the cities in the District each year. See below for upcoming conference dates or click on the individual District Web sites (if they have one) below for more information about their activities. Additionally, some Districts hold awards programs. Resources for District Leaders | |
