News From CPRS National

College of Fellows Applications Due September 18

The College of Fellows is inviting all members with 20 years of work experience or more to apply for induction this year. To be considered eligible, CPRS members must also have a minimum of 10 years of membership, be a maintained APR, and have in some way advanced the field of public relations, e.g. through releasing abstracts, articles, or reports, or by giving lectures or workshops to fellow practitioners. Members can contact Aisling Bermingham for more information.

2020 National Conference

Save the date for our next rendez-vous May 24-26 in Quebec City, at Fairmont Le Château Frontenac. We’re putting the final touches on the registration and call for proposal pages and both will be opening later this month. Until then, members can contact theevents team for more information.

Student Memberships

At this time of year, we’d be remiss if we didn’t remind all aspiring communications professionals about our Student membership option. It’s the perfect complement to any public relations or communications program. For $79, post-secondary students can access our complete lineup of member benefits both locally and nationally for the entire duration of their studies. Contact membership@cprs.ca  for more information. 

Volunteer With CPRS

We’re looking to recruit a new batch of volunteers. If you  would like to gain new connections across the country and help further our mission of advancing the public relations and communications profession, consider volunteering at the local or the National level this year. Locally, benefits may include being recognized by CPRS Edmonton on social media.

Nationally, we’re currently looking for members to support us long-term on a number of councils and committees, as well as in shorter term roles planning the 2020 National Conference and Awards Program and more. Fill out the Volunteer Application today or contact Tyler Callaghan for more information.
