Fellowship is our highest grade of membership and it is awarded in recognition of a significant contribution to the CIPR and the PR industry.
CIPR Fellowship nominations are considered and awards granted twice yearly by the Institute's Fellowship Standing Committee for outstanding contribution to the CIPR and the PR industry.
CIPR Fellows play an important role in the Institute - the CIPR looks to its Fellows to help promote professionalism, demonstrate best practice and raise awareness of the benefits of membership of the CIPR, the UK's professional body for the PR industry.
Our Fellows hold invaluable experience of PR, communications and business practice and are able to provide a unique insight into the profession and the issues facing communicators around the UK. CIPR Fellows help the Institute develop best practice standards and policies, sharing their experience and knowledge through contributing to the Institute's working groups, panels and consultations.
