A message from the President

Dear Current or Prospective COSPRA Member, 
 
It’s time to sign up for or renew your membership in COSPRA – one of the strongest and vibrant award-winning chapters of the National School Public Relations Association. Your membership runs from Sept. 1, 2011 to Aug. 31, 2012. To remain a member in good standing, please send us your membership renewal by Sept. 30, 2011, using the attached form.

With budgets getting leaner and change coming even faster, your $70 individual membership is more valuable than ever. What does your investment buy? Here are just a few of the benefits: 

Instant access. The COSPRA Listserv provides members a heads-up on media inquiries, on-the-spot advice on district policies and emerging issues, and job openings.

Networking and professional development. COSPRA’s regional leaders are planning a rich array of timely discussions. But as a COSPRA member, you may attend any session, anywhere – most of which are free of charge!

The highly-rated state conference. Join experts for top-notch professional development, up-to-date issues information and face-to-face networking opportunities on November 11, 2011 in Lakewood, Colorado. Details coming soon!

Statewide recognition. The COSPRA Communications Excellence Awards and the COSPRA Member Awards programs allow you and your team’s work to shine. We’ll even present the awards to you at your school board meeting!

COSPRA Mentor Program. COSPRA now offers a mentor program that matches school PR veterans with newcomers, providing the ultimate one-on-one networking opportunity.  

Join us for another exciting year by signing up for or renewing your membership today!

With warm regards,

Christy McGee, CoSPRA President 2011-12
