Global Alliance opens two new offices in Africa and North America
The Global Alliance for Public Relations and Communication Management (Global Alliance) in partnership with the Public Relations Society of Kenya (PRSK) and the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) announces the opening of two new offices in Nairobi, Kenya and New York, USA to provide liaison and communication support for the programmes and activities in Africa and North America, respectively.
There are now four Global Alliance offices around the globe which include the head office in Lisbon, Portugal, an office in Jakarta, Indonesia, serving the Asia Pacific region.
Having offices in Africa and North America will enhance the value the global association delivers to its thousands of members in these continents. “Global Alliance is truly global and its presence must be felt in all the continents, delivering services more effectively and efficiently closer to our members, increasing our diversity and inclusiveness” said the President of Global Alliance and Global Ambassador and Hon. Life Fellow of PRSK, Justin Green. He expressed its gratitude to the Public Relations Society of Kenya and to the Public Relations Society of America for accepting to offer these essential office services.
“This cements Africa’s position and by extension, Kenya’s Public Relations industry; and our contribution to the growth of the PR profession on the global map. We look forward to collaborating in even more programmes that will grow both the African PR Associations and their individual members as well” said Dr. Wilfred Marube, President of PRSK.
“Our strategic commitment with Global Alliance goes back many years, and we look forward to working more closely with them to foster new connections, share information and best practices, and collaborate on projects and initiatives that serve communicators worldwide” said Philip T. Bonaventura, Interim CEO, PRSA.
This brings Global Alliance closer to its members in Africa and North America and is envisaged to fortify linkages and strategic programmes for the benefit of Global Alliance members in these Continents.
