INSPRA Earns 2024 Mark of Distinction

Congratulations to us! INSPRA has been awarded the 2024 Mark of Distinction for our work in professional development/PR skill-building! NSPRA’s Mark of Distinction chapter recognition program recognizes exemplary effort in supporting the national association's mission to develop professionals to communicate strategically, build trust and foster positive relationships in support of their school communities.

INSPRA is one of only fourteen chapters to be recognized this year. Special thanks go out to Denise Barr (2023-24 President), Terri McHugh and Jen Vujosevic (2023-24 Co-VPs of Programs), Carla Erdey (APR Chair), and every other member who contributed to or helped plan our different professional development opportunities throughout the year.

Our chapter was honored during the Annual Meeting and Celebration of Achievement at the NSPRA 2024 National Seminar on Sunday, July 14, at 1:00 pm at the Hyatt Regency Bellevue. INSPRA will continue to bring quality professional development opportunities to its members, and we look forward to building on this success.
