IPRA Partners Program

By becoming an IPRA Partner of the Independent Public Relations Alliance (IPRA), your company can put its name and services in front of some of the most senior public relations professionals in the D.C. area. For a sponsorship fee of only $175 per year, you can become an IPRA Partner, giving you special access to IPRA’s membership and highlighting the services you provide to public relations professionals.

IPRA is a network of highly experienced, independent public relations professionals delivering quality, value-driven communications services across a wide range of industries for clients in both the public and private sectors. We are a committee of the National Capital Chapter of the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA), the world's largest professional organization for public relations practitioners.

Averaging 18 years of communications experience, IPRA members are an exceptional resource for corporations, associations, full-service public relations firms, advertising agencies and nonprofit organizations. As independents – some of us sole practitioners and some operating small firms – we often seek the services of outside vendors. That’s where you come in!

For your annual sponsorship ($175) of the IPRA Partners Program, you will receive high-profile recognition, including:

• Your logo on the IPRA web site (www.ipralliance.com) in the “Resource” section, with a hyperlink to your web site. IPRA’s web site serves as a frequent resource for members and attracts visitors from outside our membership as well.
• Your logo or brochures displayed at every IPRA luncheon.
• An introduction to our members via our IPRA email list.
• An opportunity to make a two-minute presentation (that includes tips based on your particular field) and have hand-out materials at our regular lunch meetings.
• Opportunities to underwrite IPRA events and programs (e.g. tele-seminars, special events, networking luncheons, etc.).
• The opportunity, for another $75, to have IPRA send out two messages over our listserve within no more than 90 days of each other.
• Conduct one mailing during the year using the IPRA mailing list.
• Be part of the “Monthly Featured Partner” series in the email-newsletter.
• Be part of regular contact with the list of Partners to our Premium IPRA members.

Our members often depend on each other for supplier recommendations. We invite you to become a member of the IPRA Partners Program by completing the IPRA Partners Application. If you have any question , contact Patrick Pellerin (Patrick Pellerin Public Relations, Inc.) at (202) 364-6486 and by e-mail: pellerin@verizon.net.  We look forward to working with you and your organization.
