Elizabeth Bananuka, Founder BME PR Pros, The Blueprint
I'm so pleased to be able to offer CIPR members a discount on these workshops. For a little over £20 per session you will hear from some of the most talented practitioners discussing a range of issues and topics that you won't have seen - and probably never will see - offered anywhere else in the industry. These won't solve the diversity or inclusion challenges you may have but they are a great first step in understanding them better.
