Madeira Public Relations Principal Earns APR Designation

4/20/2015

 
Heather Grzelka, founder and principal of Madeira Public Relations has successfully completed the examination for Accreditation in Public Relations, providing her with the right to use the prestigious APR professional designation.

Accreditation involves completing a rigorous evaluation process including presenting a portfolio for assessment by a panel of accredited public relations professionals. Upon successful completion of the panel review, APR candidates must pass a comprehensive exam assessing competence in 60 areas of knowledge, skills and abilities critical to the practice of public relations including law, business literacy, crisis management and ethics.

"Practitioners who achieve the designation are demonstrating their commitment not only to our profession, but also to a strong code of ethics and to the betterment of their organizations and clients," said John E. Forde, Ph.D., APR, Fellow PRSA, 2015 chair of the Universal Accreditation Board.

Accredited professionals must maintain their credential through continuing professional development, providing leadership to the profession and serving their local communities.
