About Marketing & Public Relations Society

The Marketing and Public Relations Society (MPRS) is a not-for-profit, member-driven organization committed to fostering professional development opportunities for marketing and public relations professions within senior housing and services organizations.

MPRS was created in 1992 through the efforts of a task force comprised of marketing professionals from LeadingAge PA (PANPHA at the time). They saw the need to provide additional opportunities for education and professional networking in the marketing and public relations professions. Since that time, MPRS has expanded to serve nearly 200 members including members from Pennsylvania and surrounding states who are senior housing and service professionals. While many members are also LeadingAge PA members, MPRS is an independent organization and not an affiliate of LeadingAge PA. It is governed by a Board of Directors, elected from and by the membership.
