The Orange County Chapter of PRSA was chartered in 1963 to serve and educate the public relations practitioners of Orange County, California. Monthly lunch meetings provide members an opportunity to exchange ideas with other public relations professionals and hear speakers on a wide variety of topics related to the communications field.
PRSA serves every public relations discipline, from general corporate communications management to high-technology, non-profit and governmental affairs, just to name a few. Our members work both in-house at large corporations and at smaller start-ups, at public relations agencies or as freelance consultants. They range from entry-level practitioners to senior managers, agency principals and agency owners.
Your membership includes subscriptions to two national periodicals: Public Relations Tactics is a monthly tabloid newspaper, and Public Relations Strategies is a quarterly magazine covering managerial and communications issues. Our local members also have access to our Agency and Freelance Referral Service and to the Orange County PRSA Job Line. For more PRSA membership benefits, please click here.
