The award was presented to Justin at a ceremony which was held at their academic centre in Dublin.
Speaking at the presentation, the Chair of European Institute of Communications Academic Council, Ray Horan, stated “it was an honour as the professional body for
communications and PR practitioners in Ireland and Europe to present the award to an outstanding contributor to the profession of public relations in Ireland. His success as a practitioner is well documented both nationally in Ireland but also on a global platform. It is befitting to ensure that his professional status is acknowledged in his home country and the European Institute of Communications was delighted to do so”.
The Carmel Hegarty Award is presented to a contributor to the profession and who supports the development of professional academic Public Relations in Ireland. It has only been presented to 6 people in its 16 year history and has to be unanimously agreed by the Institute’s sitting Council. In addition to the award, Justin was made an Honorary Life Fellow and a Global Ambassador of the European Institute of Communications.
Director of Education of the European Institute of Communications and President of the European Institute of Public Relations, Eugene Grey commented “Justin Green has been an advocate for professional industry public relations education for decades. He has always recognised the importance that industry representative bodies, such as the European Institute, have in shaping, contributing and being able to modify and respond to ever changing trends. Justin’s appointment as the first ever Irish President of the Global Alliance for Public Relations and Communications Management is an important stage in the history of PR in Ireland. It complements the status of many Irish PR & Communications practitioners working at the highest level in a global industry.
“Justin has taken the baton from his predecessors as President of the Global Alliance and highlighted the important role of professional and ethical practice of PR. We are proud to be members of the Global Alliance and are delighted with the increased communication and activity from the Alliance. We are looking forward to supporting the first ever Global Ethics Month initiative in February next year and will be hosting events in both Leuven, Belgium and Dublin, Ireland”.
