Member Benefits

Workshops
Each year, we offer a Fall, Winter, and Spring Workshop with state and national speakers on topics of interest expressed by our members. Workshops are held at a central location and include breakfast, lunch and networking.
While virtual workshops were held during the pandemic, NJSPRA is returning to in-person workshops for 2022-2023! We will also add virtual power hours for hot topics as the need arises, and these are included in your membership.
To view workshops and all upcoming events, check our Events page for details and registration links. 

Fall Networking Event/Awards Celebration
We kick off each year with an evening networking event and awards ceremony recognizing outstanding work in school communications from the prior year. 

Communication Awards Contest
In this annual event, we celebrate and share the best work in school communications across our state. Membership includes one complimentary entry into the contest.

Annual Meeting
We close out each year with our annual business meeting, recognition of the NJ Communicator of the Year, and a featured speaker/program.

Special Programs 
When urgent or timely events dictate, NJSPRA holds special programs to ensure our members have current and accurate information.

Scholarships
NJSPRA sponsors at least one scholarship annually to the National School Public Relations Association annual seminar. Only members are eligible to apply.
We also sponsor one scholarship each year to a student enrolled in the school communications program at Rowan University.
