Committees and groups
We have a number of committees and special interest groups that tackle head-on all kinds of issues affecting the PR industry. They usually meet once a quarter and are run by members for members. All provide opportunities for networking, knowledge sharing and best practice development.
Committees
Our committees set the agenda, for both the future direction of the PRCA and the UK PR industry.
Regional groups
Our five regional groups are valuable forums for members who are based outside London.
Sectoral groups
Our market sector groups serve members who provide specialist services for specific industries or economic sectors.
Get involved
If you would like further information regarding these groups please get in touch with Natasha Woolsey: natasha.woolsey@prca.org.uk / 020 7233 6026.
