MARCH into Membership Month!
With the exception of a few frosty days, it feels like YYC’ers are starting to see the end of winter. Spring is officially here in three weeks and what better way begin anew than to join CPRS or encourage friends and colleagues to sign up!
Benefits of joining CPRS
In addition to all the great reasons to join CPRS – such as professional development opportunities, complimentary webinars, and the ability to enter the fast-approaching CPRS National Awards of Excellence program – new members will also enjoy:
- Free registration for their first CPRS Calgary event
- The opportunity to win a complimentary registration for the World Public Relations Forum in Toronto – a $1,525 value
- A year subscription to the Public Relations Society of America’s Public Relations Tactics newspaper – a $79.10 value
“The month of March is an opportunity for new members to join CPRS and take advantage of additional benefits,” said Membership Chair of CPRS Calgary Tammy Schwass. “One new member will win a trip to the National Conference in Toronto and last year’s winner was a local member.”
Benefits of referring new members
Current members can also reap the rewards of the Member Referral Program. For each new member referred, current CPRS members will receive a $100 credit (up to $800!) toward all national programs and offerings, including membership fees, awards submissions, national conference registration and accreditation fees.
