The
best public relations practitioners in Mississippi
are in the Public Relations Association of Mississippi
(PRAM). Our membership consists of approximately
550 public relations professionals from advertising
and public relations agencies, corporations, non-profit
organizations, government, education, industries
and others. PRAM is a source of expertise and inspiration,
and a forum for networking with public relations
practitioners throughout the state and the region.
Advantages of joining PRAM include:
PRAM sponsors an annual workshops/conferences and
other special learning and social occasions.
PRAM conducts the annual PRism Awards.
PRAM sponsors study programs for Accreditation.
PRAM fosters greater knowledge of the public relations
field
PRAM supports the principles and public relations
code of ethics.
PRAM
is comprised of eleven local chapters geographically located
throughout the state's major population centers.
Local
chapters are bound by the same constitution, bylaws and
code of ethics as the primary organization. Each local
chapter elects its own local board of directors to carry
out local business and run its chapter level programs mirroring
the primary areas of focus at the state level. While
each local chapter has its own distinct personality and
strengths, there isn't any significant difference in the
philosophy of the state organization or other chapters.
Most
local chapters play a major role in advising and supporting
at least one college chapter.
PRAM
membership includes membership in the Southern Public Relations
Federation (SPRF), which brings Mississippi public relations
practitioner together with others in Alabama, Louisiana,
and the Emerald Coast of the Florida Panhandle. SPRF
offers an Accreditation Program through the Universal Accreditation
Board, an evaluation and awards program via the annual
Lantern Awards, an annual professional development conference
that showcases some of the nation's top public relations
professionals.
