??? This #VeteransDay, we honor the bravery and sacrifices of our nation’s heroes, saluting all of those who serve today and those who have served and defended our country. To our active duty members of the military and those with prior service, THANK YOU! And to our fellow communications professionals who have served, we are honored to have you in our industry. PRSA offers a unique accreditation for those who work in military communications, the APR+M (Accreditation in Public Relations + Military Communication). The credential recognizes PR professionals who demonstrate expertise in both public relations and military communication, ensuring strategic, ethical practice in complex environments. APR+M improves the military public affairs practice, encourages ongoing professional development and establishes a standard of knowledge within the public affairs community that is transferable to civilian work. #APRplusM #PublicRelations #MilitaryCommunication
