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.
