It is now time to renew your annual membership to the New England School Public Relations Association (NESPRA) for the 2024-25 school year! The membership renewal period is open from now until Monday, October 14. The annual fee remains $50.
Current members will receive an email from Wild Apricot to renew your membership; you can also renew via this link. You can pay by credit card or with a check via purchase order.
If You Pay By Purchase Order: After receiving the email and logging into your account, please find your membership renewal invoice under 'Invoices and Payments.' From there, select the blue linked invoice number assigned to you. You have the option to print the page and process payment via purchase order or to pay online. Please be sure your Finance Department follows the instructions on the invoice regarding where checks can be mailed.
Please be sure to renew by October 14 to ensure you keep access to our members-only resources, Facebook group, and invites to our in-person meet-ups along with virtual chats and professional development sessions.
Do you know a school communications professional who is not a member of NESPRA? Please ask them to become a member! We are open to anyone who has involvement in K12 school communications – ranging from administrative assistants to communications directors to superintendents.
If you have questions about the membership renewal process, please email Ryan Langer, Membership Coordinator.
If you have questions about payment, please email Jennie Oesterreicher, Treasurer.
Please remember that we are all volunteers and will do our best to respond to you in a timely manner.
