Q&A with Anmol Harjani: CPRS Toronto’s New Communications Co-Chair
By Samiha Fariha
With the New Year comes fresh energy on the CPRS Toronto Board, and this year, we are excited to welcome Anmol Harjani as the chapter’s new Communications Co-Chair. Anmol is drawn to storytelling, community-driven communication, and creating connections that matter, qualities she is eager to bring to the role as she helps CPRS Toronto strengthen its presence and engagement within the local communications community.
We caught up with Anmol to learn more about her journey in communications, what inspired her to take on this role, and the ideas she is most excited to explore as she steps into the position. From her focus on member-driven storytelling to her vision for meaningful engagement, here is what she had to share.
What motivated you to put your name forward for this role?
I was motivated to apply because I genuinely believe in the work CPRS Toronto is doing for communications professionals across the city. I want more people to know about this community, the conversations it enables, and the value it creates. For me, this role is an opportunity to add a personal touch to how CPRS Toronto shows up, while helping amplify the voices, ideas, and impact of the profession as a whole.
Can you share a bit about your career journey in communications and how it has led you to this point?
I am at an early but very intentional stage of my career in communications, with a strong focus on writing, storytelling, and clear messaging. I’ve always been drawn to communication as both a craft and a responsibility. Over time, this interest has grown into a desire to contribute to spaces where ideas are exchanged thoughtfully, which naturally led me to seek a role like this within CPRS Toronto.
What excites you most about supporting CPRS Toronto’s communications and helping shape how the organization connects with its members?
What excites me most is the potential to strengthen CPRS Toronto’s presence to the point where, when people think about the communications community in Toronto, CPRS Toronto is top of mind. I want it to be seen as a space where communicators feel comfortable sharing ideas, learning from one another, and putting forward their thoughts in a meaningful way.
You shared some thoughtful ideas during the selection process. Without giving too much away, what areas or opportunities are you most eager to explore in this role?
I’m eager to explore opportunities around storytelling and visibility. This includes how we share information, how consistently we show up, and how we highlight the people and perspectives within the CPRS Toronto community. There’s a lot of potential to make communications feel more connected and member-focused.
How do you see strong communications playing a role in member engagement, retention, and community-building within professional associations like CPRS?
Strong communications create clarity, trust, and connection. When members clearly understand what the organization stands for, what’s happening, and how they can be involved, engagement becomes more natural. Consistent and thoughtful messaging also helps members feel included and valued, which is key to building a strong sense of belonging and long-term community.
Are there any communications or marketing trends you are particularly interested in bringing into CPRS Toronto’s work?
I’m particularly interested in relatable and conversational social media trends that encourage dialogue rather than one-way communication. Content that feels timely, human, and reflective of real experiences tends to resonate more strongly. I’d love to explore ways CPRS Toronto can use social platforms to spark conversations and make members feel more connected.
What skills or perspectives do you hope to bring to the Communications portfolio as Co-Chair?
I bring a strong writing foundation and a focus on relevance. I’m interested in developing meaningful blog content and continuously improving how CPRS Toronto presents itself across social media. My perspective is centred on clarity, consistency, and ensuring that communications align with what members actually want to read, engage with and share.
Outside of work and volunteering, what’s something members might be surprised to learn about you?
I’m currently learning French, which has deepened my appreciation for language and cultural nuance. I’m also very interested in world news and global affairs, and I enjoy staying informed about what’s happening internationally. Both of these interests shape how I think about communication in a broader, more connected way.
Final thoughts
I’m grateful for the opportunity to serve as Communications Co-Chair and look forward to contributing to CPRS Toronto’s continued growth alongside the board and members.
