# Voting deadline extended for CIPR elections

## Voting deadline extended for CIPR elections

A little while back I wrote a [blog post](https://www.simonwakeman.com/2009/11/05/paul-mylreas-bid-for-cipr-presidency/) about the Chartered Institute of Public Relations elections for president elect 2010.  
I’m backing [Paul Mylrea MCIPR, Director of Communications for the Department for International Development](http://www.cipr.co.uk/elections/president-elect-paul-mylrea.pdf) in his bid to lead significant and long overdue change at the institute to make sure it’s fit to serve the needs of the public relations profession in the UK. You can read more about this in my [original post](https://www.simonwakeman.com/2009/11/05/paul-mylreas-bid-for-cipr-presidency/).  
The deadline for voting has been extended to this Friday – I’d encourage any members who haven’t voted yet to do so – the institute is at a critical point both strategically and financially.  
Voting papers were mailed with the last issue of Profile magazine, but if you’ve lost yours contact Ben Carrett (020 7631 6900, [BenC@cipr.co.uk](mailto:BenC@cipr.co.uk)) and he’ll fix you up with new paperwork quickly.
