THE BAD NEWS On Sunday November 16, this site will cease to be no more… Continue

Hi Christal,
I have been trying to get more persons in the public sector to join,but it is a difficult task. However, I am not daunted because if the profession is to grow then all persons involved need to make a contribution towards prefessional development; especially training.

Thank you Christal.
It is a pleasure to join the Barbados Public Relations Association online.
I must commend you for your brilliant idea of forming such an important association that is very much needed in Barbados.
I pledge my whole-hearted support behind you and the association, and let us work closely together to build and give the BPRA the recognition it deserves.
