NSPRA Academy - New Professionals | Module 7: Community Partnerships & Engagement

When:  Apr 14, 2027

Community Partnerships and Engagement

Single Module Registration

Strong school-community relationships are built through intentional engagement, meaningful partnerships, and ongoing two-way communication. As school PR professionals grow in their roles, they have opportunities to extend their impact beyond district leadership and internal communications by cultivating connections with families, community organizations, businesses, civic groups, and volunteers. This module will help participants understand how community partnerships and engagement efforts support district goals, strengthen trust, and build long-term advocacy for public education. Through real-world examples, practical tools, and interactive activities, participants will explore strategies for identifying and developing key partnerships, expanding volunteer and community involvement, and creating authentic relationships that benefit both the district and the broader community.

Speakers: 

Melissa McConnell, Manager of Professional Development and Member Engagement, NSPRA

Gabrielle Brown, Director of Media Relations, Guilford County Schools (N.C.)
