CIPR announces three new Fellows and new Chartered Public Relations Practitioner
The Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) has announced three new Fellows in recognition of their outstanding work in public relations, service to the Institute and personal achievements within the profession.
The new Fellows are:
- Chris Harrison FCIPR, Director at JPR, Belfast, Northern Ireland
- Gary Taylor FCIPR, Public Relations Officer, West Yorkshire Combined Authority
- Julie McCabe FCIPR, Managing Director, Massive Public Relations
Fellowships are given to those CIPR members who have shown exemplary commitment to the Institute and the Industry, through their professional work and their voluntary work. I look forward to the ongoing contribution that Chris, Gary and Julie will make to the Chartered Institute.
Alongside this news, the Institute has also announced that Sandra Gustus MCIPR, former Internal Communications Manager, Nissan Europe, has been announced as the latest Chartered Public Relations Practitioner (Chart.PR).
Chartered Public Relations Practitioner status is awarded to members of the CIPR who can demonstrate an outstanding level of professional practice and knowledge, along with a commitment to continuous learning. This status was first awarded by the Institute in October 2009.
In reviewing Sandra's submission on 'How an Innovation Mindset informed Employee Engagement at Nissan Europe' for stage two of her application for Chartered status, assessors gave particular credit to Sandra's ethical practice, crediting her for demonstrating an understanding of ethics as a constant consideration of practice from a personal perspective but also in relation to advising and counselling clients and senior managers as to appropriate responses to ethical dilemmas.
