April Is APR Month – Update on Accreditation from PRSA Chicago

April Is APR Month – Update on Accreditation from PRSA Chicago
By Edward M. Bury, MA, APR
Public Information Coordinator
The Urban Transportation Institute at UIC

In April, we welcome baseball, spring, longer days, and, of course, PRSA APR Month.  

Recognition of the Accredited in Public Relations credential this month will center on the value the APR holds for communicators who successfully take on and complete the required Panel Presentation and pass the Comprehensive Exam. 

Locally, we are honored and pleased to announce that Zion Banks, APR, a PRSA Chicago member, earned the APR credential in March. She is the Manager, Media and external Relations, and Public Information Officer at Governor's State University.

Congratulations Zion!
