Making PRogress

In the past year, it’s become clear that the conversation around diversity, inclusion, equity and belonging has fundamentally changed. Public Relations professionals are looking at their organizations, their departments, and themselves and reflecting on our own roles in protecting systemic norms that keep diverse professionals from moving up through organizations.

We’ve also seen our associations do the research and set goals for change. The big question? Are we simply being performative or are we actually driving results?

Join us as we look back at what has changed (and what hasn’t) in PR in the past year and what it means for innovation, service delivery and our own reputation as a profession.
