Group Memberships
Group memberships are a great way to get all the benefits of a PRSA Orlando membership, for a fraction of the cost. Teams of five or more members never pay an initiation fee, which represents a savings of $65 per member. Group Memberships also include discounts on a number of PRSA offerings and are easily transferable if an employee changes departments or leaves your organization.
For more information, please contact Group Membership Sales at groupmembership@prsa.org.
Will Your Employer Cover Your Membership?
The amount of resources associated with a PRSA membership can allow you to bring new ideas and information back to implement at your company. Because of this, many of our members have their memberships paid for by their employers. If you are interested in this option, we have created an email template for you to customize and send to your supervisor to support your request.
