Hi, I'm @lucecannonpr.bsky.social, looking after the CIPR Wessex social this month. I've worked in comms for 32+ years: 20 years as a journalist and 12+ years in PR for arts and other bodies. I'm comms manager for Good Faith Partnership and @warmwelcomeuk.bsky.social.
Join us at CIPR Wessex!
Our region is a great place to run. And work in public relations! We'd love to hear from members and PR colleagues about how you make the most of our brilliant part of the world.
Personally, I've been training for the Manchester Marathon on 27 April, and hopefully recovering from a couple of injuries just in time!
In my day job, I lead a small comms team for a community-based housing association and am generally found working from home in Wimborne, east Dorset.
And we'll also be celebrating just a few of the places and things there are to love about our region. Which, I've only recently learned, extends into parts of Wiltshire and Sussex.
We'll be posting some tips on planning your year of CPD to keep that learning continuous and avoid the last-minute logging.
This month, we'll be promoting opportunities to join our merry band at CIPR Wessex. Please get in touch to find out more.
Hi! I'm Mike (@mcarhartharris.bsky.social), Chair of CIPR Wessex and it's my turn to look after our socials in April.
