PRSA-SF BAY AREA SPONSORSHIP & ADVERTISING PACKAGES 2023
Founded in 1947 and one of the five founding Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) Chapters, we are the Public Relations Society of America, San Francisco Bay Area Chapter (PRSA-SF). With a robust active membership of approximately 300 PR professionals, PRSA-SF functions as a regional division of the Public Relations Society of America, Inc., and serves members within the territory as approved by the Society, including the nine counties of the San Francisco Bay Area: San Francisco, San Mateo, Alameda, Contra Costa, Santa Clara, Solano, Napa, Sonoma and Marin.
One of the strongest attributes of PRSA-SF is the Chapter’s ongoing mission to embody and demonstrate key values in Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) and to contribute to advancing diversity locally and nationally. This was recognized by PRSA in awarding PRSA-SF with a “Chapter Diversity Award” for successfully developing and hosting multiple panels, workshops and seminars focused on the importance of implementing D&I programs and best practices. D&I is embedded into the framework of all PRSA-SF programming, events and leadership.
