About

Serving Auburn, Opelika and surrounding areas, the East Alabama chapter of the Public Relations Council of Alabama (PRCA) was established in 1999. 

PRCA, the state's longest operating and largest group of public relations practitioners, was formed by a group of Birmingham PR practitioners who saw the need for regular networking with their peers. Though the date of the first meeting is uncertain, various accounts put it sometime between 1953 and 1956. Most do agree, however, that the early meetings were usually held in various drinking establishments.

The group is more formally organized now, with approximately 700 members in seven Alabama chapters — Birmingham, East Alabama (in Auburn), Mobile, Montgomery, North Alabama (in Huntsville), West Alabama (in Tuscaloosa), and Wiregrass (in Dothan).
