Global Alliance

'One profession - One Voice'
The Global Alliance for Public Relations and Communication Management was formalized in the fall of 2000.

www.globalalliancepr.org

The mandate of the alliance is to:

  • Unify the profession
  • Assist in building and growing public relations associations
  • Develop and propose universal standards for the profession
  • Be an advocate on behalf of the profession
  • Serve the needs of the individual members of GA member organizations
  • Offer reciprocal benefits to our collective membership

Global Alliance projects include the establishment of a global code of ethics, benchmarking of accreditation and curriculum standards as well as the creation of a Web site and newsletter. Other projects involve the establishment and promotion of the need for a communications component to projects funded by the World Bank and the World Public Relations Festival which is a concept created by the GA to explore in-depth current themes in Public Relations.

  • Forum for discussing common issues

Canada is playing an important role in the Global Alliance this year, as we host the Global Alliance’s 2009 Annual General Meeting in Vancouver on Saturday June 6th, 2009, immediately before On the Edge, our Canadian Public Relations Conference.

On June 14-15, 2010, the Global Alliance invites practitioners from all over the world to assemble in Stockholm, Sweden, for the 6th World Public Relations Festival (WPRF). This conference will feature leading-edge thinking in public relations from around the globe.
