The Global Alliance for Public Relations and Communication Management announces the extension of its successful free Education and Training Month from April into May following the phenomenal response from members. This is to fulfill the original aim of the month and ensure that PR professionals around the world have an opportunity to continue their learning and development at a time when normal training has been severely disrupted by COVID-19.
The Global Alliance for Public Relations and Communications Management is dedicating April 2020 to a virtual ‘Education & Training Month’ as part of our continuing support of the profession worldwide during the COVID-19 crisis. Continuing education and training in public relations and communications plays a vital role in the services offered by our members worldwide. That is why the Global Alliance is inviting all our members to join in with their own initiatives.
Thank you to all our Global Alliance members and in-turn their members for your participation in our first global Ethics Month during February 2020.
There was an incredible response worldwide with more than 60 countries and thousands of professionals participating across the four weeks making it one of the most comprehensive engagements on world ethics the profession has ever seen.
April’s Global Education and Training month provides a perfect opportunity to ask the basic question: what does a fully capable practitioner look like? The Global Capability Framework is the Global Alliance’s benchmark for how professionals in public relations and communication management perform at their best. It applies to individuals and groups, such as communication departments, and the profession as a whole
Covid-19 knows NO borders, continents, races, faiths or cultures. Together we must continue to unite as one to help and protect all our global citizens. The time is now for our profession individually and collectively as organisations to strengthen and triple our efforts which thousands of communication practitioners have already been engaged in dealing with head-on at the front line of this world pandemic. Please help share this WHO link among family, friends and colleagues - please stay safe.
Justin Green, President Global Alliance

As a public relations professional now teaching the next generation(s) of PR pros, one not-so-simple challenge is always looking over my shoulder as I introduce my eager-to-learn audiences to my life’s passion...how to ensure that they know the razor-thin difference between “legal” and “ethical” decision-making and action.
The Global Alliance is a proud member of the Commission on Public Relations Education. The Commission on Public Relations Education is the authoritative voice on public relations education. The GA has been on board since 2004 when I was Chair of the GA. Past chairs John Paluszek, Gregor Halff and I all have served on the Commission with John taking the honors of having served without interruption almost since the Commission was formed. Now that is a commitment! I had the honor of co-chairing the Commission a few years ago.
