A CIPR that meets members where they are, now and in the future

I'm Anne-Marie Lacey, and I'm standing to be CIPR President-Elect 2027.

A Professional Home

I believe the Chartered Institute of Public Relations should be a professional home where people find continued value in their membership throughout their careers.

We shape the Institute, give our time, share our knowledge, support one another and welcome the next generation through the door.

Because we are the CIPR.

The outcomes we should work towards together


RECOGNITION.


RESPONSIVENESS.


RELEVANCE.


REPRESENTATION


RELATIONSHIPS.

The President I will be

If elected, I'll listen.


I’ll speak up.


I’ll be accessible.


And I'll bring people together.

The next President-Elect will take office at an important point for the CIPR: helping the Institute make progress against its current strategy while contributing to what comes next from 2029.

What we learn from members today should help shape the CIPR they need tomorrow.

Now and in the future
