PR Professionals
The CIPR is UK-wide and offers training and development leading to professional qualifications that are increasingly demanded by employers. We also strive to ensure high standards of professionalism and conduct among our members.
We have recently celebrated not only our 40th anniversary in Wales, but also the granting of chartered status to our organisation - confirming our position as a leading professional body.
A committee of Welsh PR professionals looks after the interests of CIPR members in Wales - organising annual and monthly events; arranging and communicating training and career development opportunities in Wales; providing a voice for the profession in Wales; communicating national CIPR information to the Welsh membership; and working in partnership with Welsh universities on a number of fronts.
Events
CIPR Cymru Wales showcases the best of communications with our annual PRide Awards. They are a fitting way to celebrate the development of public relations - highlighting members' commitment to high quality work and the growing importance of the profession in Wales.
CIPR Cymru Wales members meet regularly to catch up with colleagues and hear from a wide range of speakers. It's a good way of keeping up with the latest developments in the industry. See our events page for more information.
