"I'm delighted that we are able to celebrate the milestone of our 400th Chartered Practitioner and would like to congratulate everyone who has taken the step to become Chartered in the first quarter of the year.
As we reflect on the one-year anniversary of the first national lockdown, we can look to an increased recognition in the value and importance of our work within our organisations and with our clients. The best way to secure that is through demonstrating our commitment to professional practice and ethical conduct through CPD and by achieving the highest grade of accreditation possible in public relations - getting chartered.
As 2021 President, I look forward to welcoming many more of you to Chartership this year, wherever you are in the world."
