MNEA awards P.R. grants to local affiliates

Once again local associations across the state have the opportunity to implement their ideas for spreading good news about public education with a little financial boost from Missouri NEA.

MNEA’s public relations grant program is a project of the Association’s Public Relations Committee. Grants of up to $200 are awarded for projects that increase MNEA’s visibility in the community, build support for public education, increase membership in the Association and support local association public relations efforts.

Following are the 15 local affiliates that received MNEA public relations grants for 2007–2008.

For more information on the public relations grant program, contact Linda Bell at (800) 392–0236 or Linda.Bell@mnea.org.
