The Public Affairs Leadership Circle recognizes Public Affairs Council members who promote ethics and integrity in the field of public affairs by supporting the only nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to advancing the profession.
Our member contributions are fundamental to the development of Public Affairs Council and Foundation for Public Affairs programs and research, which are valued by the public affairs community.
We couldn’t fulfill our mission without your continued support.
Organizations that contribute $25,000 or more in one calendar year to the Public Affairs Council and/or the Foundation for Public Affairs automatically become members of the Public Affairs Leadership Circle.
Contributions can take the form of:
- Membership dues within or above your organization’s dues level
- Foundation for Public Affairs contributions
- Sponsorship of annual conferences, Spring/Fall Board meetings, membership networking events or research studies
Recognition
All Public Affairs Leadership Circle honorees receive the following recognition:
- Presentation of the Public Affairs Leadership Circle award at our annual Spring Board meeting, which is attended by senior-level public affairs executives
- Recognition on the Council’s website
- Three complimentary registrations to any of the Council’s training programs (excluding the Public Affairs Institute).
