"APR is a symbol of professionalism. It demonstrates that individuals have the knowledge, ethics and experience that set them apart. It also demonstrates that they care about their own profession and that they are dedicated to enhancing their own personal abilities," said Joe S. Epley, APR, Fellow PRSA, president, Epley Associates, Charlotte, NC.
