About COSPRA

COSPRA Mission


The Colorado School Public Relations Association (COSPRA) advocates for effective public relations practices that support student achievement. Our mission is to create an atmosphere of mutual trust and understanding by leading, serving and engaging the public in support of Colorado and Wyoming public education.

COSPRA Vision

Our members engage in professional development to remain credible sources of advice on school-community relations.

Educational organizations we serve view our expertise as invaluable during decision-making processes and essential when communicating those decisions.

Civic conversations prompt the public to be better informed and involved in support of public education.


COSPRA Goals
  • Speak with one clear voice on key education issues
  • Influence education leaders to value and practice strategic communications                                        

COSPRA provides members with a forum to discuss communication and public relations challenges and issues, and an opportunity to interact with school public relations colleagues at several meetings held throughout the year.
