APR Accreditation Members

The Accreditation Committee promotes Universal Accreditation within the chapter and encourages eligible members to take the Examination for Accreditation in Public Relations. Minimum standards require that a chapter either sponsor the Examination itself once every two years or encourage its eligible members to take the Examination at the most convenient location available. The committee can work with the chapter Professional Development Committee and other chapter committees in planning and conducting courses or seminars to prepare candidates to take the Examination for Accreditation in Public Relations. Each chapter is provided with a suggested seminar teaching outline. The Accreditation Chair schedules the oral portion of the Examination and arranges for oral examining teams of three Accredited members.
