Who Supports Us?
Since our founding in 1956, the leaders of our field have supported our mission to expand and document the intellectual foundations of public relations, and to make this knowledge available and useful to practitioners, educators, researchers and the clients they serve. Over time, this mission and the responsibility for funding it has passed from generation to generation.
