About CalSPRA

Who We Are | What We Do | Officers

WHO WE ARE:

The California School Public Relations Association (CalSPRA) is a nationally recognized leader in school communications with a membership of about 200. Members represent school districts and county offices of all sizes, ranging from the largest urban districts to those located in remote areas serving one or two schools, as well as other professionals in the field of education. The common thread is the recognition that there is value in networking. The National School Public Relations Association (NSPRA) has consistently recognized CalSPRA as a Blue Ribbon Chapter for its exemplary programs and services to members. 


WHAT WE DO:

CalSPRA is working to create a climate for better public understanding, commitment and support of public education. Scheduled programs throughout the year are held at different locations in California, enabling most members to attend at least one meeting within driving distance of their work. Designed to serve the needs of various levels of expertise and interests in school public relations, programs range from panels of speakers on current issues to the “how to” seminars that offer practical tips on communication skills.
