YARMOUTH – Linda Varrell has earned her accreditation in public relations. She is owner of Broadreach Public Relations and earned her accreditation in July.

Candidates for APR must demonstrate broad knowledge, experience and professionalism in public relations.

“As a veteran banker turned public relations entrepreneur, I decided to tackle the accreditation process because I wanted to know what I didn’t know,” said Varrell. “Through this process I was able to gain fresh insights into the industry and deepen my ability to think strategically.”

Varrell is a member of the Maine Public Relations Council and joins a growing list of MPRC members who have earned APR status.
