Membership
Join the Lake County Chapter
One membership, two levels of value: the resources of a statewide association and a professional community you can reach in fifteen minutes.
Statewide
What FPRA membership includes
Every chapter member is a member of the Florida Public Relations Association and receives the full slate of statewide benefits.
A professional community
Access to a statewide community of practitioners who actively support and help each other, across agencies, government, nonprofits, and in-house teams.
Professional development
Virtual and in-person webinars, meetings, and workshops that build skills throughout the year, plus the annual PR & Comms Summit.
Credentialing and leadership
Leadership and credentialing opportunities — including Accreditation in Public Relations — that move your career forward.
Recognition
Entry into the Golden Image Awards, FPRA’s statewide competition recognizing outstanding public relations work.
Members-only resources
Exclusive digital access to the membership directory, award summaries, past webinars, newsletters, and event calendars.
The FPRA Job Bank
Listings for communications positions across Florida, available to members looking for their next role.
Benefits summarized fromfpra.org/join-us. Refer to the state association for the authoritative list.
Locally
What the Lake County Chapter adds
The part of membership you feel every month.
Programs close to home
Monthly chapter programming in Lake County, so professional development does not require a drive to Orlando or Tampa.
Local networking
Regular contact with the communicators, reporters, and community leaders who shape how Lake County audiences hear from you.
A place to lead
Committee and board service at the chapter level is the most direct route into FPRA leadership statewide.
