The CIPR's international links

The CIPR is a founding member of the Global Alliance for Public Relations and Communications Management and is closely involved with its European wing, CERP (Confederation Europeenne des Relations Publiques).

These are alliances of professional associations; there are no individual members. However, CIPR members benefit in a variety of ways. Interested individuals can access information including research and news from associations across the world. The Global Alliance and CERP also enhance networking opportunities for professionals and serve as a vehicle for examining ethical standards, universal accreditation options, and other initiatives to strengthen the profession around the world.
