About Us

Welcome to the Minnesota School Public Relations Association (MinnSPRA) and a connection to more than 130 public relations professionals. We are committed to serving as a professional network and resource for our members and others interested in providing the highest level of communications support to help school districts achieve their goals.

• Giving support to each other on any number of public relations topics through our directory and knowledge network of members;
• Furthering professional development through conferences, workshops and teleseminars;
• Keeping members up to date on hot issues through electronic communication;
• Honoring exceptional work in public relations through a statewide awards program;
• Having fun and meeting new people though MinnSPRA social events;
• Opportunities to get involved at just about any level - from one-time volunteer tasks to monthly Board involvement.
