PRAM Mississippi Beach Chapter

PRAM Mississippi Beach Chapter We provide professional development and engagement opportunities for public relations, communication, and business professionals in Coastal Mississippi.

The best public relations practitioners in Mississippi are in the Public Relations Association of Mississippi (PRAM). Our membership statewide consists of nearly 600 public relations professionals from every sector — advertising and public relations agencies, corporations, non-profit, government, education, industries and others. PRAM is a source of expertise and inspiration, and a forum for netwo

rking with public relations practitioners throughout the state and region. Members of the Mississippi Beach chapter of PRAM are also members of the Southern Public Relations Federation (SPRF), which brings Mississippi public relations practitioners together with others in Alabama, Louisiana, and the Emerald Coast of the Florida Panhandle. Our chapter serves the coastal Mississippi counties of Harrison and Hancock. In addition to the professional development aspect of attending meetings and joining the chapter is the invaluable networking opportunities that come with meeting people who do very similar things in very different organizations — and all this for a modest annual membership fee of $70. We invite you to attend one of our meetings and see for yourself why the best public relations practitioners in Mississippi belong to PRAM. All meetings are scheduled to take place from noon to 1 p.m. the second Monday of each month at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College’s Hospitality Resort Management Center, and only cost $15 to attend for members, $25 for non-members and free for first time guests. Reservations are not required.

Excited to see everyone tomorrow! We wanted to make a correction - our meeting will be in the Topazi Room at Knight Non Profit Center, NOT the Hancock Whitney Bank room. Looking forward to it!

As PR practitioners, creating stories - whether it’s to inform, engage or even entertain audiences - is what we do best.

Next week, we invite you to our May program to learn storytelling tips and best practices from the brain behind strategic storytelling efforts for the Gulf Coast - Pattye Meagher, Coastal Mississippi’s director of communications and engagement! 🗣️
