"To me, an APR says the practitioner grasps all aspects of effective communication; from the effective use of research and analysis to the strategic application of that knowledge to achieve desired goals. It's a personal achievement I'm very proud of, and I enjoy having the opportunity to support our profession and our society through explaining the APR to people who see the initials on my business card." Henry Stevens, APR, Vice President, NATIONAL Public Relations.
