Celebrations & Programs

Celebrating PRSA History Across the Country

During the year 2022 and into 2023 six of our Chapters also will be celebrating their 75th anniversary. As programs and gatherings are planned, we will share information about them in this space. 

We invite all PRSA Chapters and communities to find ways to recognize the power of influence that your local Chapter commands, and that each member holds as we execute our work in an ethical and transparent way. 

Ideas for Events

The 75th Anniversary Committee has prepared a Chapter toolkit that includes guidance on planning programs and editorial outreach that your Chapter may engage in. Ideas and templates are provided in the toolkit located on this page. Download the toolkit and find information and creative assets to help you join the celebration.

Join us in congratulating our founding Chapters on their 75th anniversary and let us know what you will be doing in your PRSA community to join in the fun and celebration of our shared history.
