Networking & Professional Development
The Central Texas Chapter can fulfill several needs for new and experienced professionals. We offer opportunities to network with others in the public relations industry and provide speakers on timely topics that help professionals stay connected to the latest trends and skills.

Code of Ethics
PRSA also promotes ethical practices. All members are required to adhere to high ethical standards outlined in an official Code of Ethics. These standards are vital to maintaining a high integrity for the profession in our individual communities and throughout the nation. According to PRSA, “The level of public trust PRSA members seek, as we serve the public good, means we have taken on a special obligation to operate ethically.”

Central Texas members receive publications on timely public relations issues and receive member discounts on PRSA training opportunities including on-site workshops, teleconferences and journals. Professionals with at least five years experience can pursue accreditation through PRSA. Several of our members have completed the accreditation process, which includes both a verbal and written examination.
