At NSPRA, it’s tradition to celebrate leading school communicators every July. This year was no different as NSPRA virtually recognized the many accomplishments of school public relations in 2019-20.

NSPRA planned even more festivities for the week of NSPRA Live 2020, July 13-17.
That week, association members received email invitations to view special video messages from the 2019-20 and 2020-21 association presidents as well as video speeches from the new candidates for the NSPRA Executive Board.
Chapter officers, as well as anyone interested in a chapter or national leadership position, also were invited to participate in a virtual Leaders’ Meeting. Watch the 2020 Leaders' Meeting, which took place on Cisco Webex.
