What Kind of Public Affairs Team for the New Times?

Public affairs practice is going through unprecedented transformations, presenting new challenges before PA professionals—especially team leaders responsible for hiring and growing new talent.

In the interview with Piotr Bonislawski, a seasoned PA professional with more than 15 years of experience, we will discuss new challenges that PA teams face in recruiting, retaining, motivating, and training. The conversation will touch upon:

• What kind of skills are critically required for newly-hired PA professionals;
• What kinds of roles can be assigned to PA team members (Government Relations Manager, Policy Manager, Stakeholder Relations Manager, Market Access Manager, Digital Advocacy Manager, and so on).
• How to build and retain a successful PA team within an organization.
