In her latest monthly video update, CIPR President Jenni Field looks forward to November's National Conference, themed around 'Leadership in the New World'. Highlighting this as "a theme that goes beyond the conference", Jenni uses the video to update members on the Institute's work this month including the launch of our new 'Career Starter' student mentoring scheme.

Outlining the support available to members, Jenni points to how the Institute is helping members demonstrate their professionalism through the increasing numbers of those becoming chartered, as well as help available through the iprovision Mental Health Hotline, our Legal and Business helpline, Ethics helpline, and Employability Support Hub.
