The Global Alliance announces the launch of an international survey of PR professionals. The survey’s goal is to hear from PR professional associations and individual practitioners around the world on the key issues that will affect practitioners, associations and the profession in the next five years. The results will inform the development of the Global Alliance’s new strategic plan for 2009-2014. The survey takes about 10 minutes to complete, and the results will be presented at the Global Alliance’s annual general meeting on June 6, 2009, in Vancouver, Canada.
