The North Pacific District serves 16 chapters in 8 states.  Districts serve to bring the needs and requests of individual chapters forward to the Public Relations Society of America, through meetings with the national board of directors and through nominating committee duties throughout the year.

 

Each chapter within the District has its own autonomous board of directors which oversees that chapter's individual membership and programming efforts.  Many of our chapters also have local Public Relations Student Society of America chapters, where college students can participate in PRSA events and meetings for a student discount.

 

Among the many services currently offered by the North Pacific District:

Just like your local chapter and committees at every level of PRSA, the district relies on its volunteers to provide these important and crucial services. It’s your district, so help us keep it strong with your service and support.
