The chapter is planning to offer a preparation course for Accreditation in Public Relations (APR) this spring.  The preparation course lasts 12 weeks and is slated tentatively for February through April.  The series of classes are designed to help prepare chapter candidates for the APR Readiness Review and computerized accreditation exam.  The cost of the course for Central Iowa PRSA members is $40.

Join the 57 members of the Central Iowa Chapter who have earned their APR designation.  Sign up today by e-mailing Jennifer Perry, accreditation chair, at perryja@ihs.org.  Please indicate the day of the week you would prefer for the class (6-10 p.m. each week) and if there are any days that do not work for you.
