California Association of Public Information Officials (CAPIO)’s Post

It's a new year! That means it's time to challenge yourself and try something new. Thinking about getting your accreditation or certification in public relations is a great way to start the new year. Listen to how Kevin Christian, APR, CPRC, VP of Credentials for FPRA can help!

Anne Marie Chebib, newly elected Chair of the United Kingdom Crowd Management Association , joins Gary Twining-Wright and I to discuss her career, the role of the UKCMA, and the future. What’s great about Annie, is she's down to earth, has walked the walk, and as her 28yr career demonstrates, has put in the hard yards. It is testament to her skills, ability, knowledge, and experience that she has been elected by her peers to lead this very influential association. Consequently, anyone regardless of gender, looking for a role model, need look no further for inspiration. Annie told us of the soon to be released Safer Practices/Guidance document for owners and operators of venues below arena level. The United Kingdom Crowd Management Association, the Night Time Industries Association and others had recognised the growing need for this document. Consequently, Annie, Eric Stuart QPM , Michael Kill, John Collins, Julie Tippens , Prof. Dr. G. Keith Still, Luke from Fabric, a couple of KCs, and many others pooled their collective expertise to make it so. Best of all it’s free to everyone with an interest in guest safety anywhere in the world. This is a fantastic public protection/safety initiative which will help save lives. We touched on the direction of the UKCMA. Why it exists. The vital role it plays in creating civilised space. And of course, why joining makes you part of the solution. Finally, Annie speaks of her hopes for the future. A future that creates a host of opportunities for people of all demographics to have fulfilling careers. Careers in a sector made even more interesting, by the diversity of ideas and experiences, such a welcoming environment can generate. Essentially helping people find their passion.
