Meetings
Monthly meetings provide the opportunity for interaction and education for PRSA-WV Chapter members and guests. We meet on the third Wednesday of each month, generally for a breakfast or luncheon. Our monthly meetings feature local and regional speakers who can bring new perspective to our members, while providing time for networking and exchanging ideas and information.
Reservations are required for these meetings, so please contact we.are.pr@prsawv.org or view our calendar to make your reservation for our next meeting.
Professional development is critical to today's public relations professionals. It provides a mechanism for personal and professional growth by enhancing current job skills and developing new ones. For those who earn the APR designation, it is also mandatory for maintenance of accreditation. In today's business environment, where both time and dollars for education are often scarce, the two half-day professional development seminars provided by PRSA-WV Chapter are a major benefit to chapter members and other professionals in our state. As part of our annual calendar, we feature two outstanding seminars, one in the summer and one in the fall
To be included on our mailing list for these seminars, please e-mail we.are.pr@prsawv.org

Take the APR plunge
The Accredited in Public Relations (APR) accreditation is invaluable to all those who earn it and to the agencies that hire them. It’s the epitome of the public relations profession. The Accreditation Program was established in 1964 and is the only public relations national post-graduate certification program. It rates the professional’s understanding of the public relations field and how this knowledge can be applied to the real world. Presently, there are more than five thousand possessors of the APR mark from the agency, corporate, association, and education fields.
Join us noon, Wednesday, March 17th at the Marriott for a discussion on the APR process in West Virginia. Our panelists, Joe Long, APR, of Verizon, and Jennifer Goddard, APR, of Ann Green Communications, will start the discussion with a brief APR quiz. They will then talk about the value of the APR designation, share information on the APR exam process, and describe the path forward for those interested in taking the plunge.
The noon luncheon will be located in the Charleston Marriott Hotel in the Gauley Room. The Board of Directors will be meeting at 11:00 a.m., just before the luncheon. Reservations are required for this meeting and must be received by Friday, March 12th, 2010. Cancellations after the deadline will be billed. The cost for the meeting is $17 for both students and members and $22 for guests. You can register and pay online at www.prsawv.org.
