A full and buzzing room as @ebananuka introduces #TheProsAwards, the first ever awards for - and judged by - black, Asian, mixed race and ethic minority PR and comms pros.
The CIPR is a very proud supporter.
@itskeithriley@CommsConf I have called out these organisers before on a similar conference line up and got told that sourcing speakers from diverse backgrounds was a "priority"...
The IRA effect: UK's Johnson Matthey to co-invest in a US green hydrogen gigawatt plant in one of the first 🇬🇧 industry moves following the Inflation Reduction Act https://t.co/je4fHWHY3q
The CIPR and @PRstarsTB have opened applications for the PR industry’s first BME Reverse Mentoring Scheme.
⭐ Work with senior leaders on understanding challenges
⭐ Support the creation of inclusive cultures
⭐ Drive lasting change in the PR industry

Reverse Mentoring can work if it’s done well.
If you are a senior leader from a non-minority background, who is genuinely curious about learning from someone else, & you are happy to invest in mentoring to make it valuable, our scheme could be for you.
@140Okay, @SurinderK
If you're committed to improving DE&I in the PR industry and are willing to have open, challenging and non-judgemental conversations, apply to be a mentor or a mentee - applications close 9th Dec! Happy to chat if anyone wants to find out more.
@_MSalhotra We’re doing it at my mums - my sister wanted to keep it fairly small. She’s also being particular about what she wants 🤓 but some people do hire a venue or do an afternoon tea type of thing - depends on how big or small you want it.
@_MSalhotra I’m organising my sister’s for next wknd - we see it as a nice opportunity for her to see some of her close friends all together in a nice chilled environment before baby arrives. Each to their own! If you do do it, get someone else to organise!
@fionaharvey At @Johnson_Matthey we're developing sustainable technologies that reduce the carbon emissions and environmental impact of chemical factories and production processes. There are some really interesting developments - happy to put you in touch if you want to hear more.
Felt weirdly quite emotional watching the post match analysis. What an amazing group of women to have as role models for girls all over the country. Well done #lionesses#representationmatters#euro2022
