Without getting too hung up on establishing an exact definition of PR , the value of PR can be seen as the total value of all the relationships mentioned above.

What is that communication, that connection between the media and those who have a need to present themselves to the public? I have come up with dozens of definitions of what Public Relations is in my nearly 30 years. By the way, I can't stand the literal Bulgarian translation of public relations.

Susan Roeder, director of public affairs, Andersen. What I love about Susan isn’t how smart she is when it comes to navigating the world of corporate communications within a large org the size of Andersen (because she’s great at that). Definitely one of the solos I look up to. No brainer on a list like this.

I also appreciate the sense of community. At the core, earning my APR changed how I practised public relations and it definitely made me more disciplined. The diversity of knowledge and experience of my professional contacts (both through employment and association volunteer work) is impressive.
