Kristina Hendrix Earns Accreditation in Public Relations Kristina L. Hendrix, APR, Director of Technical Outreach for Space Science Solutions, Inc. for NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, recently earned the Accreditation in Public Relations (APR) designation. She joins seven other members of the North Alabama Chapter of the Public Relations Council of Alabama (PRCA) who are Accredited. "We are very excited to add Kristina to the select list of North Alabama Chapter members who have achieved accreditation," said Melissa Bullard, APR, Accreditation Chair for the North Alabama Chapter of PRCA. "She is a talented professional and has worked diligently for several months to earn her APR. I know this will be an important milestone in her career." To earn the APR credential, Hendrix completed a comprehensive program that included a presentation and portfolio review before a panel of three Accredited public relations professionals and a computer-based Examination-both assessing the knowledge, skills and abilities (KSAs) required to practice public relations effectively in today's business arena. Just under 70 percent of those professionals pursuing the designation successfully earn their APR. Within the four-state Southern Public Relations Federation, 111 members are Accredited, including the 43 Accredited professionals in PRCA. Hendrix is the 2010 Secretary of the North Alabama Chapter of PRCA. She received the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center Office of Strategic Analysis and Communications Peer Award for Communications in 2008. Congrats Kristina!
