CIPR President Rachel Roberts Chart.PR, MCIPR

A key focus in my year as President is broadening the representation of practitioners who engage with CIPR from across the PR industry and this mission is reflected within the composition of this year’s CIPR Board which features a wealth of talent representing the diversity of PR practice and practitioner community.  I’m excited to welcome our five new elected Board Members and I’m grateful that complementing these fresh perspectives will be continuity from the existing Board Members comprising the Executive Officers, Hayley James who was elected to the Board in 2021 and Rachael Clamp who has kindly agreed to continue as a co-opted Board Member for a second term. 

The Board will be further strengthened through the inclusion of our second co-opted Board Member, Natasha Ferguson who’s ten-year career experience in journalism, PR, lobbying, D&I, and her perspective as both a mid-stage practitioner and non-CIPR member will be hugely valued. 

Collectively as a Board we will work hard to support the CIPR and our members, as well as welcoming new voices to join the CIPR, get involved and commit to professional, ethical standards of practice so we can increase recognition for the distinction of chartered PR practice and the value of our industry to wider society.
