The Arizona School Public Relations Association (ASPRA) invites all members to attend our upcoming Quarterly Meeting on November 14 at 10 a.m. at the Sunnyside School District Office, located at 2238 E Ginter Rd, Tucson, AZ.

Thank you to everyone who attended our Quarterly Connection on November 14th, and thank you to our presenting and lunch sponsor, ParentSquare. 

Members were able to hear updates about the implementation of the state-wide Every Day Counts Arizona Attendance Campaign, learn about legal updates from The Trust, and participate in a panel discussion and Q&A about recent crisis communications situations from Vail Unified, Tucson Unified and Dysart school districts. Thank you to our panelists and presenters.

Quarterly connections are a great opportunity to connect with fellow school PR professionals, share ideas, and stay up to date on the latest trends and tools in education communications. Whether you're a seasoned communicator or new to the field, ASPRA meetings offer valuable insights and meaningful collaboration.

We look forward to seeing you at our virtual Quarterly Connection this spring.
