As a statewide organization, SCPRSA serves public relations practitioners
all over South Carolina with a variety of regional meetings and events. To
better serve our more than 200 members, we host monthly professional
development luncheons in Charleston, Columbia and Greenville, with planned
expansion to the Myrtle Beach/Coastal area.

All SCPRSA luncheons feature dynamic speakers, opportunities to learn about the profession, increased knowledge about topics relevant to the practitioner and valuable networking time with colleagues.

Twice a year, the entire chapter gathers for our signature events: Mercury
Awards and the Professional Development Conference. The Mercury Awards
includes a judged competition and awards banquet that celebrates outstanding
achievement in the creation and execution of public relations campaigns and
tactics. Each fall, the statewide Professional Development Conference brings
in regional, national and international speakers for intensive workshops on
the hot issues facing public relations practitioners.

The chapter also sponsors an annual accreditation process for members that
includes recruiting candidates and assisting with preparation for oral and
written exams, and we work with the Public Relations Student Society of
America (PRSSA) at the University of South Carolina to sponsor mentoring
programs for public relations students.

SCPRSA is a member of the Southeast District of PRSA.
