"Over the many years that I have been a member, I have found the Texas Public Relations Association to be a wealth of information and resources -- from terrific professional development programs to fellow senior level professionals who are always available to exchange ideas. The TPRA is the one professional organization I cannot do without."
- Scott White, founder/president, BizCom Associates
"I have been involved with Texas Public Relations Association since my first job in public relations in 1991. Fast forward to 2009...I'm now a board member and past co-chair of one of TPRA's annual conferences. TPRA has been, and continues to be, an instrumental part of my career. I have learned so much, met so many interesting people, listened to new perspectives on PR issues, made new contacts to expand business and have been challenged to think globally. With the public relations industry evolving, TPRA is at the forefront; allowing me to evolve right along with it."
"My circle of professional contacts would be so limited if it weren’t for TPRA. Through TPRA, not only do I know public relations professionals in all of Texas’ major cities, but I know the leaders in PR all over Texas. I can (and do) call on them regularly for guidance and advice. My world would be much smaller without TPRA."
“Ours is a business built on relationships, and there’s no better statewide organization to deliver those connections than TPRA. Whether as a source of industry knowledge, business referrals, or recruiting, the members of TPRA have always come through with answers and advice that are right on target.”
"TPRA offers a powerful combination of contacts and professional development. I've gained both consulting contracts and wisdom from my association with its members over the years. Not to mention the benefit of maintaining my Accreditation for about half of what it costs through PRSA! Join now and start adding advantages to your own career."
- Christina J. Moore, APR, principal, Certain Solution
"TPRA provides me with meaningful contacts, resources and industry insights. TPRA has evolved into a top tier organization that provides access to information to its membership on issues that confront the PR industry today. I’ve enjoyed the years I’ve been a regular member and now as a member of the TPRA board. My membership has brought many benefits to my career by attending annual conferences and learning about what’s new in our industry, competing for and winning TPRA awards, renewing old and forging new friendships/contacts. I’ve never regretted joining – you won’t either. Come join TPRA today!"
"Serving on the TPRA Board has been a priceless learning experience working with some of the best PR professionals in Texas to promote our profession and provide all Texas public relations practioners a viable and valuable professional organization.
TPRA's annual "Silver Spur/Best of Texas" awards program provides the only state-wide competition that recognizes excellence in public relations programs from all
practioners.
TPRA's Annual Conference and periodic seminars provide professional development opportunities for Texas PR professionals with the latest tools, programs, top-notch presenters and a chance to network with industry leaders from around the state and beyond."
"When one of my clients needed to find a last-minute local photographer in Austin, I contacted TPRA colleagues Christina Moore and Michele Glaze. Ironically they each immediately identified the same photographer, who was able to shoot the needed professional photos. Through my TPRA membership and my TPRA colleagues, I was able to identify an excellent photographer and provide a quick turn-around for my clients, making me the “hero for the day.”"
"TPRA provides a steady and very useful connection to PR pros across the Lone Star State. Given the many important issues and opportunities facing our industry, it’s comforting and helpful to turn to trusted colleagues for insights and counsel that can be applied in just about any setting. I’m proud to serve on the TPRA board – for our industry, my company, and my career."
No other organization can provide the statewide networking that I get with TPRA. Whether I need a contact in Dallas, El Paso or Tyler, I can always count on TPRA to have a member in that city.
