The countries represented by the PRCA MENA will include the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco and Egypt.
Grayling Middle East CEO Loretta Ahmed and TRACCS CEO Mohamed Al Ayed, both of whom are MENA PR industry leaders, will serve as co-chairs of the PRCA MENA.
