"It's been an honour for me to learn from great mentors, work with wonderful colleagues in both government and business, and contribute to the professional journey of public relations in Canada and around the world. When practised with conscience and aligned with action, communication is a social good, and I admire the Canadian Public Relations Society for advancing high standards in our industry," said Tisch.
