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.
Since Spring 2020 and through the 2020-21 school year, workshops were held virtually in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Plans for 2021-22 and beyond include a blend of in-person and virtual programs. Check our Events page for details as plans evolve. 

Fall Networking/Awards Celebration
We kick off each year with an evening networking event and awards ceremony (held virtually in 2020) recognizing outstanding work in school communications from the prior year. Membership includes one complimentary entry into the contest.

Awards Contest
In this annual event, we celebrate and share the best work in school communications across our state.

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.
