Or, why the Chartered Institute needs to get out more.
Day One: on the road
I probably ought to be tweeting or writing a LinkedIn post but I had an engagement to fulfil first.
It begins…
The campaigning starts as election fever hits the UK’s public relations practitioners.
Chartership announced
CIPR finally admits to the world that I’m a Chartered PR Practitioner. A month after the event. Maybe they’re embarrassed?
Charter viva
The Chartership process might have changed but I’m still on the old route – so I thought I’d get a shift on.
Crikey. Fellowship!
Somewhat delighted – and still a bit surprised, though I have been keeping the news secret for a few weeks – to have been made a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Public Relations.
Full story on the CIPR web site.
Many thanks to Paul Amourdedieu, Stefan Casey and Rebecca Benn for the nomination; and to the many people Paul tells me he rounded up to get testimony from; and to the people who have emailed, texted or tweeted congratulations today.
I promise to only use my new-found powers to annoy.
‘C’ words
The gist of a talk I gave to final-year students at Leeds Beckett University today.
I’d like to thank…
Close, but no banana.
Eight spots available on the Open List, I came… ninth. A ridiculously close ninth too, thanks to the voting system used.
Oh well, there’s always 2016. You can see the results on the CIPR web site, as well as the full election report.
Vote Taylor!
After some consideration, I have decided to put myself forward for election to CIPR Council for 2015 & 2016.
The Chartered Practitioner trail begins…
Becoming a Chartered PR Practitioner represents a benchmark of professional excellence and integrity, demonstrating the highest standard of knowledge, expertise and ethical practice. I’m still going for it though.
