Membership

Leaders Groups 

Public Affairs Leaders Groups are comprised of individuals who provide thought leadership, industry expertise and community engagement in support of the Public Affairs Council while enhancing their personal network and leadership experiences.

Applications for Leaders Groups are received in July.

Leadership Circle

The Public Affairs Leadership Circle recognizes 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 members’ contributions are fundamental to the quality programming and research developed through both the Public Affairs Council and the Foundation for Public Affairs.

Certificate Programs

The Council’s certificate programs in Public Affairs Management and PAC and Grassroots Management is one of the best ways to take your career to the next level.
