January 10, 2025 – NIRI: The Association for Investor Relations announced that it has designated Alpha IR as an Approved Professional Development Unit (PDU) Provider.
NIRI Investor Relations Charter (IRC)® holders are now able to earn PDUs at select Alpha IR educational events.
The Approved PDU Provider Program helps IRC holders maintain their certification and gives entities that offer education, training and/or other IR-related knowledge programming the opportunity to award the PDUs sought by IRC holders for certification renewal.
This program promotes the continued competence of IRC holders by making it easier for them to access educational resources, as well as promoting awareness of the IR profession, and improving the standard of IR excellence.
“We’re pleased to recognize Alpha IR as an Approved PDU Provider for the Investor Relations Charter,” said Matthew Brusch, CAE, President and CEO of NIRI. “NIRI’s growing IRC program, and IRC holders themselves, benefit from the opportunity to earn PDUs from an expanding list of Approved PDU Providers, now including Alpha IR.”
“The Alpha IR team is incredibly excited to start 2025 as an Approved PDU Provider for the NIRI community; representing both the importance of NIRI to our industry and the level of expertise and knowledge of Alpha IR,” said Jackie Marcus, Managing Director at Alpha IR. “With our deep experience in IR and strategic communications, we are honored to equip IRC holders with the practical knowledge and tools they need to thrive in our evolving field.”
