Welcome to IABC Indonesia
IABC Indonesia is a part of the IABC global network as the only one that connects PR and Communication professionals with the insights they need to achieve business goals.

Dear IABC Indonesia Community,
I hope this message finds you in good health. Likewise, we are excited by the ongoing initiatives and upcoming programs we are preparing to support the Public Relations community across the country.
One of our key ongoing initiatives is the IABC Indonesia Professional Certification Program, which aligns with global standards and is accredited by the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) through ISO/IEC 17024. This certification features 25 competency schemes, tailored for various levels and specializations. Successful candidates are awarded the title Certified Communications Professional (CCP) as a mark of excellence and dedication in the field of business communications.
We have also introduced a special certification track for final-year university students, recent graduates, and early-career professionals seeking internationally recognized validation of their foundational communication skills. While participants in this category do not receive the CCP designation, they are granted a prestigious recognition that proudly bears the IABC name on the global stage, a powerful start to a promising communications career.
For those seeking dual recognition, we also offer a certification program in collaboration with the Public Relations Indonesia Professional Certification Body (LSP-PRI). This program responds to the growing need for certifications that are both globally aligned and nationally recognized, integrating IABC’s global standards with competencies endorsed by Indonesia’s National Professional Certification Agency (BNSP). Through this dual certification, professionals gain both international acknowledgment and formal legitimacy within Indonesia’s national framework.
This coming September, we will be launching our Fall Mentorship Program, themed “Career Mentorship: Gen Z Survival Kit for the Job Market.” This initiative is open to both members and the broader community, welcoming participants as either mentors or mentees. With guidance from seasoned professionals, many with over two decades of experience, our goal is to foster a meaningful intergenerational learning space that is relevant and impactful, especially for those at the early stages of their career journeys.
We believe that meaningful and sustainable communication can only be built through collaboration, continuous learning, and a shared commitment to giving back. Let us move forward together—building a stronger, more relevant future for the communication profession in Indonesia and beyond.
Warm Regards,
Hj. Elvera N. Makki, S.IP., MBA, ABC, SCMP
President of IABC Indonesia
