Today, we are excited to announce that Mary Poliakova has joined the International Public Relations Association (IPRA). As Co-Founder and COO of Drofa Comms, Mary will contribute to global discussions on ethical public relations.
A Global Network for Excellence
Most importantly, IPRA is a leading global network for communication specialists. Indeed, the United Nations has recognised this prestigious organisation since its establishment in 1955. Primarily, the association aims to further the development of international communication. More specifically, it also focuses on the growth of ethical public relations practices worldwide.
Unsurprisingly, we at Drofa Comms strongly believe that ethics in communication matter. Naturally, honesty, respect, and integrity are the building blocks of our firm. Consequently, we strive to build all relations upon these values. As a matter of fact, this applies to our work with both clients and the media.
Collaborative Knowledge Sharing
Joining IPRA allows Mary to take part in an inclusive community. Notably, she will share her professional experience and user cases with fellow experts. This membership also provides access to the collective knowledge of other association members. It ensures we continue to follow the highest ethical public relations standards.
In this respect, Mary Poliakova remarked on the appointment: “It is a great honour and a responsibility. The goals of IPRA speak to my heart. I look forward to promoting higher standards in our field. I hope my 15 years of experience will prove useful to my colleagues.”
Expanding Professional Horizons
Overall, IPRA is the third major association joined by our co-founders. Earlier this year, CEO Valentina Drofa joined PRCA and Women Lead. These memberships reinforce our commitment to professional growth and leadership. We remain dedicated to shaping the future of global financial communications.
