I have been a member of PRISA since 1989 and an Accredited Public Relations Practitioner since March 1994. Over the years I served on many different committees including being a board member, the Communications Management Industry Legislation & Regulation Committee, Conference Committee and others. I was a PRISM judge annually from 2011 to 2016 and was appointed chief judge in 2013, holding this position annually till 2018. I also judged the PR category in the Loeries Awards annually from 2011 till 2016. This privilege of judging in these awards kept me at the forefront of the industry and up to date with latest trends and developments and allowed me to contribute towards the industry. I was elected Vice President of PRISA in 2014 and worked with a team of co-leaders driving towards the growth of PRISA’s offering, membership growth and the continued growth of the profession. In 2015/2016 in the position of President Elect we continued with this goal. Mid 2016 saw me tender my resignation as Honorary Officer choosing rather to focus on other volunteer work.

My rebooting project of the 21 year old PR agency marcusbrewster took 6 short months. Championing change and sustainability through innovation. "We can only build a sustainable business if we understand that standing still will kill us."PR is a key part of integrated marketing of the future. http://blog.prnewswire.com/2012/11/13/what-is-public-relations-infographic/Marcus invited me to assist with rebooting the agency and steering the change management process that would bring the agency into the digital age and we achieved this within six short months. The agency’s new Managed Communications Service offering was integrated into the business. Partnerships with revised policies and procedures were put in place along with an underlying strategy and structure. The project was successful and set the scene for a promising future for the agency.
