The CIPR is 75 years old and this year we will celebrate the contribution of our fast-growing member and graduate communities to the development of our industry and to societies in over 80 countries. Our Charter and mission have never been more relevant, and in 2023 we will launch initiatives to get more trained communication professionals on Boards, with a mandate to grow reputation capital by cultivating two-way relationships with stakeholders.
To that end, the CIPR will also continue to campaign to make our industry more representative of the audiences with whom we communicate, and our Board and Council will be explicitly working towards our Institute becoming the first membership organisation to achieve the National Equality Standard. Additionally, I know the Board and Council are absolutely committed to further improve the experience of every member, supported by our brilliant employee and volunteer teams. There has never been a better time for practitioners to invest in their career development by joining the CIPR.
