Mark of Distinction Chapter Recognition Program

The Mark of Distinction program offers multiple recognition opportunities for NSPRA chapters of all sizes. There are two entry sections: membership building and special focus areas. Each eligible chapter can enter for one or all of the special focus areas as well as for membership building.

Through the program, recognized "exemplary chapters" have an opportunity to receive incentives such as discounts on Seminar and pre-Seminar workshop registrations, free PR Power Hours and other offerings. Recognized chapters also can use the Mark of Distinction logo, naming them as an exemplary chapter, on their chapters' websites, newsletters and stationery.

Entries are due each year by May 15. Download the Mark of Distinction program description, entry guidelines and entry form (PDF).
