PRIA hunt for new CEO after departure of Catriona Barry in February

The Public Relations Institute of Australia (PRIA) is currently on the hunt for a new CEO, following the departure of interim CEO Catriona Barry in February.

The departure of Barry came after the ousting of national president Terri-Helen Gaynor by Mike Watson in  February which subsequently saw the national board resigned en masse.

The industry body is currently advertising the position with the new CEO to be tasked with building their “strategic services and member engagement”.

The new CEO will “need to have strong leadership skills for our team of full-time staff and 85 senior volunteer council, committee and board members serving over 2,000 individual members in corporate, non-profit and government organisations and more than 120 consultancies”.
