A MEPRA rival? Pellease!

So, the Arabian Business Communicators Association (ABCA) is set to rival MEPRA, eh? Well, that all sounds great, except that it is exactly why both will fail.

Look people! If you are going to fix problems by continuing to fragment this industry, you are not going to solve anything. Join MEPRA and be a part of the solution. What gives you the right, to say that you have waited for MEPRA for 4 years to do something? Excuse me, but aren't you supposed to be a part of this association if you were hoping to have it do what you want it to do? This is like the people who don't vote and then complain about the people voted into office.

Don't call it a rival to MEPRA. From what I am reading so far, all you want to do is setup some sort of night school to teach the badly needed skills to the so-called PR professionals out there. Good job.

MEPRA is by no means a healthy association. Don't get me wrong. I think they have some serious issues. I don't even know if it has the proper leadership or the stamina to do what it is set out to do. However, if you want it to change, do it from within.
