CIPR and IoD to award top prize for reputational management
The Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) has today opened entries for the third annual CIPR Institute of Directors Annual Prize: PR Director of the Year.
The prize is awarded to the CIPR member who is able to demonstrate effectiveness at managing and safeguarding the reputation of their organisation, either in times of crisis or over a longer period of reputational initiative.
Entries are open to CIPR Members who advise a board, MD or Chairman, as a fellow board member, senior colleague or consultant, on reputational risk or other aspects of reputation management that have a significant impact on their organisation and its stakeholders.
The winner of the award will be recognised at this year’s Excellence Awards Dinner and will receive a place on an IoD Director Development programme as well as a selection of IoD resources – with a total prize value of approximately £3,000.
This award is an excellent opportunity for senior practitioners to highlight the value of reputational management at the highest levels of an organisation. We are pleased that we can once again work in partnership with the IoD to recognise those individuals who are playing such a vital role within their organisations to effectively respond to crises and manage reputation.
Winning this prestigious award was a major boost - both to me personally and to the team at Nottingham who made it happen. The project was challenging and the interview process was a valuable learning experience in itself. I would strongly encourage other CIPR members to take this opportunity to highlight the work and vital reputational management they have been undertaking.
