Chief Director at the Ministry of Information, Charlotte Morgan Asiedu in her speech emphatically stated that “As we harness the power of public relations, let us remain steadfast in our commitment to ethics, responsibility, and integrity.
"We must ensure that public relations never become a tool for manipulation or deception. Rather, it should be a force that amplifies authenticity, empowers the voiceless, and upholds the values of honesty and transparency,”
She also thanked GMA for providing a space where communicators can have open conversations that enforce the PR community in Ghana.
A series of engaging panel discussions and interactive sessions followed, covering various aspects of the public relations profession with panellists such as Sophia Kudjordji, Chief Communications Officer for Jospong Group of Companies; Emma Wenani, GMA Chief Director; Adelaide Abbiw-Willams, Chief Executive Officer for SES HD Plus and Nana Essilfuah Tamakloe, Director Marketing & Corporate Relations.
