Dear Colleagues

The Gauteng South Team won the bid to host the 2010 PRISA Conference. Thanks to the Team for their contribution in winning the bid and to the PRISA Board’s for awarding it to us. We are extending an invitation to both practitioners and learners to attend the Conference in October 2010 in Johannesburg. Mr Peter van der Schyff is the Chairman of the Organising Committee. Watch the space for updates in 2010.

I would like to make an appeal to ALL public relations practitioners that we commit to creating an enabling environment for more practitioners get into the industry through:

• Opening doors in our organizations/ companies to afford learners an opportunity for Internship so that they can join the mainstream
• Senior Practitioners support the Mentoring of learners and practitioners as we ALL need guidance.

Let’s enjoy the Festive Season and look forward to a Prosperous New Year.
