About LACP
Established in 2001, League of American Communications Professionals (LACP) is an organization that encourages excellence in the practice of communications for all organizations. LACP believes that quality communications is the best brand differentiator available to an organization. Ultimately, the rise and fall of an organization's brand rests in the hands of its communications professionals.  It is only with the highest-caliber communications expertise that organizations can reach their full potential. It is LACP's goal to help facilitate discussion of best-in-class practices in communications and recognize those who demonstrate exemplary communications behaviors. As part of this goal, LACP hosts both a free monthly newsletter distributed on e-mail as well as quarterly competitions that target various disciplines within the communications field. Further LACP offers membership to PR pros interested in better developing their communications skills and interested in tapping into a center of online PR resources. LACP facilitates the sharing of ideas and expertise among PR professionals through its complimentary discussion boards. LACP's PR Scope, the Media's White Book for News Sources, provides PR pros with the opportunity to improve their visibility to news media by listing themselves and their organization's subject matter experts in an online news source directory. Finally, LACP provides guidance to communications professionals looking to improve their publicity materials by offering written evaluations as well as to those currently attending college/university through student programs.
