It will be a night of glamour and display of professionalism when the finest of Ghana’s public relations practitioners converge at the State House Banquet Hall in Accra for the IPR Excellence Awards and Presidential Ball on April 5.

The inaugural event is expected to take stock of PR Practice in Ghana over the last decade, project new strategies and reward individuals and corporate entities whose work has promoted professionalism in PR practice.
