With CIPR CEO Jane Wilson and Speed Communications MD Stephen Waddington
Also available: two blog posts from the CEO, CIPR: A 21st Century Institute and Don't risk being obsolete.
Welcome to a special section of our website which outlines the changes to CIPR membership that will come into effect on 1 January 2012.
These changes, I believe, will enable the CIPR to better reflect the nature of the Public Relations profession we serve, by updating the criteria through which we allocate our member grades. Our intention is to put professional development at the heart of all we do by making it affordable and accessible, while maintaining the highest standards in our training and qualifications.
Follow the links below to find out how the changes will affect you as a member, or as a potential member, of the CIPR, both in terms of our member grades and the renewed emphasis on professional development.
We would be delighted to hear your views on these changes. Please give us your feedback via the comments section on the public statement pages.
