The Public Affairs and Government Section strives to enhance the overall knowledge and skills of public affairs and communications professionals in all levels of government and branches of the military, as well as those from counseling firms, corporations and associations who are responsible for communicating with various audiences on public policy or public safety issues. The Section provides a forum for the exchange of ideas and approaches used to successfully participate in the public affairs, government and military arenas. Belonging to the Section is an added value of membership in PRSA. The benefits of Section membership include: - Networking opportunities with hundreds of others in public relations nationwide (and some even internationally) who focus on the public policy or public safety aspects of the profession
- Resources such as teleseminars tailored specifically to your area of public relations
- A professional development workshop and networking dinner event at the annual PRSA International Conference
- Section membership also provides you leadership opportunities by either becoming a Board member or participating in any of the Section's activities described earlier.
If you are currently a PRSA member and are not yet a Section member, we invite you to join by simply adding the $60 nominal fee to your basic PRSA membership. Click here to sign up online.
