The best public relations practitioners in Mississippi are in the Public Relations Association of Mississippi (PRAM). Our membership consists of approximately 600 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 hosts an annual conference 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 nine local chapters geographically located throughout the state. 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.
