CUPRAP is such a robust, forward-thinking professional development organization, but through it, I have also met so many smart, creative, and talented people who have also become friends. The people in CUPRAP are at the center of what makes it great – fellow communicators who understand your pain points, have done many of the things you are looking to do, and want to share their experiences and solutions. When you think of a professional network, this is what you want it to be.
