THE Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) has appointed Chris Pollock as its new committee chair for Northern Ireland.
The senior account manager at Holywood agency LK Communications takes over from outgoing chair Sinead Doyle of MCE.
Speaking at the professional body's AGM this week, Mr Pollock issued a rallying call for the local communications sector to provide a unified team approach to ensure the future success of the industry.
“The CIPR in Northern Ireland is committed to the goal of a local industry that can hold its head high on the global stage," he said.
"As a committee, the next 12 months will allow us to proactively and positively work together towards the shared vision of a vibrant and world class communications sector and I am excited for the opportunities that lie ahead. Northern Ireland already boasts the highest number of Chartered Practitioners per head of population across the whole of the UK and more of our members are completing CPD than ever before."
Elected as new committee members were Haley Adams, Smarts Communicate; Lisa Rice, Navigator Blue; Clare Hiles, ASG and Conán Meehan from the Ulster University.
