The field of #PublicRelations has evolved, going beyond media relations and writing press releases to addressing important issues impacting business, society, and our lives. Social issues, in particular, have become more prevalent as businesses think about communications. Tina McCorkindale, Ph.D., APR, the president and CEO of Institute for Public Relations, is among those leading the changes. In 2023, Tina took part in the Executive Program for Nonprofit Leaders at #StanfordGSBExecEd to help her gain the knowledge and insights to lead the over 60-year-old institute into the future. “I wanted to avoid ‘Captain Obvious’ content such as ‘communication is important.’ We already know that. I loved that the Executive Education program had Stanford faculty teach the classes and included research-generated insights to help us think differently and grow.” Read more about Tina's participant experience at #StanfordGSB: https://lnkd.in/gsQX_Fdx
