Global PR and Communications Month takes place in October 2021
Dear Global Alliance Member,
We are excited to share more details around Global PR and Communications Month, which is in October 2021.
During the past 17 months, the world has experienced disruptions unlike most of us have seen in our lifetime. The importance of public relations and communication has elevated as our industry professionals lead impactful conversations from “the United Nations to Living Rooms.”
With Global PR and Communications Month, we can showcase and celebrate the critical work being accomplished worldwide, all while advocating for the profession and elevating the reputation of the value of the profession. By creating an annual month, we have an opportunity to create one voice of professional advocacy led by the members of the Global Alliance.
There are three focus areas for Global PR and Communications Month:
1. Recognition and Celebration
2. Advocacy
3. Credibility
We invite you to participate and engage in Global PR and Communications Month as follows:
1. Please take our survey by 10 September.
2. We want to celebrate the work of your members. Would you please send us award winners and highlight stories recognizing the top work in the profession? We would also like to acknowledge the youth of the profession, so don’t forget your ‘rising stars’ and student award winners. We would like to have these in by 15 September.
3. Utilize the month of October to advocate for the profession and provide outreach to future professionals based on your current strategic initiatives. If you share your priorities with us by 20 September, we will highlight them in our global outreach as well.
4. Showcase professionalism in the industry by highlighting your organization’s certification and accreditation programs, as well as the Global Alliance Capability Framework and the Global Alliance PR and Communication Model.
5. Invite us to speak and engage with your members. Our President and CEO Justin Green, and the 21 members of our board of directors are available to visit with your members to bring a global perspective around trends and advocacy of the profession and share insights from all the corners of the world.
Thank you in advance for your participation in Global PR and Communications Month. We look forward to seeing the impact on our profession when the Global Alliance comes together for one month.
Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have questions.
My Best!
