FPRA Memberships

Think FPRA and Join!

We are proud to be a chapter made up of seasoned, diverse and influential public relations professionals from the Fort Walton Beach, Niceville, Destin, Santa Rosa Beach, 30A, and Panama City Beach areas.

FPRA offers various membership options for professionals who devote at least 50% of their time to the practice of public relations or related fields. Other forms of memberships are available for those with a vested interest in related fields, or those who may not be currently employed in public relations, but seeking opportunities. Memberships are on an annual basis and renew each year in October. Professionals can join at any time during the year and can be assessed at a prorated membership fee. For more information, contact our VP of Membership, Lori Smith.
