CIPR President January Update

In her first monthly video update to members, 2021 President Mandy Pearse outlines her plans for the coming year and talks about some of the work already underway. Her three-point focus for the year "is to deliver greater value for members, to set the agenda for our industry, and to keep talking about the value of PR to business." 

In what will be a "challenging year", Mandy outlines how, as President, the CIPR "will offer [members] as much support as we can to invest in both yourself and your teams, and together we can demonstrate the value of public relations".

The CIPR advances professionalism in public relations by making its members accountable to their employers and the public through a code of conduct and searchable public register, setting standards through training, qualifications, awards and the production of best practice and skills guidance, facilitating Continuing Professional Development (CPD), and awarding Chartered Public Relations Practitioner status (Chart.PR).
