The Pikes Peak Chapter of PRSA was founded in 1994. We are a chapter of the national Society (Public Relations Society of America) operating under similar rules and bylaws and the same code of ethics. We have a board of directors and have a loosely structured committee system. PPPRSA works to represent communities south of Denver, including Colorado Springs and as far south as Pueblo, and west to Woodland Park.

PRSA offers its members innovative lifelong learning opportunities and professional development, celebrates innovation and excellence within the industry, upholds principles of ethics, and acts as one of the industry’s leading voices.
We also bring together the profession’s collective disciplines and strengthen professional connections through Districts, Chapters, Professional Interest Sections and other communities.
