PRSA... Be Involved!
As with most anything, you will get as much from your PRSA membership as you put into it. Though we are a broadly recognized national organization, we are most proud of who we are and what we do locally, right here in Pittsburgh.
We are comprised of approximately 200 local professionals, and we represent a vast array of industries, cultures, ages, experiences, and skills. From agency, to nonprofit, to corporate, to media, we are a diverse group, and that is what makes local membership so rich.
We strive to create ample opportunities for our members to learn from and share with one another. Monthly breakfast and luncheon meetings, as well as participation on various committees help us get to know one another as colleagues and friends. Read on to see how you can get the most out of a PRSA Pittsburgh membership.
