Big thanks to everyone who attended our PR Plannig, Research and Measurement webinar featuring Colin Babiuk and Mark H. Lavigne!

We would also like to thank everyone who came to our Equity, Diversity & Incusion session at the end of November, which we co-hosted with the Saskatchewan Equity and Parity Project (SEPP), and the University of Regina Politics and International Studies Students' Association (UR POLIS). We had a packed classroom to hear the amazing expert insights from Dr. Emily Grafton, Dr. Claire Carter & Winter Ross on their ED&I perspectives in the context of politics, feminism, and indigenous communication.

We are currently planning our next session, which will feature returning panelists, Mark Hunter LaVigne and Colin Babiuk, to hear all about their latest book, Public Relations Planning, Research, and Measurement, developed for both entry-level and seasoned professionals looking for a refresher on all the gems of comms planning. Be sure to grab your $20 hardcopy ($9.99 Kindle) ahead of our upcoming session featuring the authors (details to come) available for purchase on Amazon: https://a.co/d/eYkCpiQ - it's worth every penny. A definite must-add to your bookshelf!
