by a two-man team comprising Mike

and Bolaji Okusaga, Lead Consultant, The

In his presentation to the AGM,
Maduegbuna highlighted the milestones of
the last eight years which included
capacity development, affiliation with
relevant international groups and
publication of the association’s
journal.
Members commended Maduegbuna for
committing his resources and time to
establish a solid foundation for the
growth of the association.
In his acceptance speech, Dr Phil
Osagie, commended the sacrifice and
giant strides of the immediate past
executive council. He pledged to build
on that solid foundation. He further
said: “We will develop and execute the
existing fantastic ideas initiated by
the immediate executive. We will take
our time and articulate a strategy and
vision that will raise the standard and
image of the association.
“The priority will be to enhance the
visibility and stature of PRCAN as well
as deepen the intellectual base of its
members. In this new knowledge economy,
public relations consultants must be at
the cutting edge of knowledge and new
learning, so they can be better
positioned to apply creative and well
thought out solutions to their clients”
He then encouraged members to
demonstrate more commitment in the drive
to take PRCAN to a higher level. |
