The CIPR has diversity on the agenda

The next in the series of the CIPR’s successful Equal Access Network events will take place on 6 February 2013 at Edelman UK in central London.

This month's event; ‘The Pathway into Public Relations’ will discuss the issue of increasing diversity within public relations by improving its appearance and viability as a potential career for individuals, and will be free to attend for both CIPR members and the wider public relations community.

The event will include a panel discussion featuring CIPR Fellow and Chair of the Diversity Working Group, Cornelius Alexander; Catherine Grinyer, Director of Communications at the Business Disability Forum; Sue Wolstenholme FCIPR, CIPR President; a representative from Edelman, as well as a student and teaching representative from the London College of Communication.
