As part of our strategic plan, we are dedicated to providing high quality professional development and connection opportunities to school communicators throughout California.
We believe that strong public education relies on strong communication. To explicitly lift up the school communication function across California, all standard CalSPRA professional development events, webinars, and regional meetups are provided entirely free of charge, unless otherwise noted (such as our annual conference or intensive certificate programs).
Whether you are looking to master new AI workflows, refine your crisis communication strategy, or connect with fellow PR pros in your region, you belong here. Dive into our upcoming schedule below, secure your spot, and let’s advance the impact of school public relations together.
Most of the webinars listed below were selected from among the top-rated sessions at the most recent in-person conference.
Unless otherwise noted, all of the events below will be offered online and are free for members.
