Senior Practitioner

 

The senior practitioner designation was established to honor members recognized by their peers as veteran public relations professionals with high ethical standing. Local chapters may name up to two members each year to be recognized at the annual SPRF conference.

Qualifying members meet at least three of the following four requirements:

  • 15 years of full-time public relations experience
  • Accreditation by a UAB member organization
  • Board service at the chapter, state or SPRF level
  • Recognition of professionalism as evidenced by such awards as Practitioner of the Year, Lantern or Medallion Award or similar honor

You can find a full list of award recipients and information about how to apply on the SPRF website.
