Membership Application

Interested in becoming a member of PRAL?

How do I apply to become a member of PRAL?

Annual membership dues for PRAL are $40. To apply, please follow these steps.

1. Download a membership application.
2. Complete the application and sign it.
3. Get two written letters of recommendation from current active PRAL members to include in your packet.
4. Include a check payable to PRAL for dues ($40).
5. Mail complete packet to P.O. Box 14915, Baton Rouge, LA 70898-4915. (Please do not send partial applications, as this will slow down the approval process. It is best to wait and send in the complete packet all at once.)
6. The PRAL board meets on the second Tuesday of each month and votes on applications that have been received at that time. Once your membership has been approved, you will receive an official email notifying you that your membership is active.
7. Membership is renewed January 1 of each year.

If you have any questions about membership, please contact PRAL's membership chair, Venessa Lewis.

How do I renew my membership?

Annual membership dues for PRAL are $40 and are due January 1 each year. Renewal reminders are automatically e-mailed to members 30 days before membership renewal deadline. The e-mail notification will serve as the invoice for payment.

If paying by check or money order, dues payment should be made payable to...

Public Relations Association of Louisiana–Baton Rouge Chapter
Attn: Membership Chair
P.O. Box 14915
Baton Rouge, LA 70898-4915

If dues are not received by January 31, then non-paid members will be placed in a lapsed status. If membership is lapsed for more than a year, the member must reapply for membership by completing a membership application and mail dues for $40. It is not necessary to obtain and submit two letters of recommendation for lapsed membership reinstatement.
