ALEXANDRIA, VA (March 4, 2021) - The National Investor Relations Institute (NIRI), the world's largest professional investor relations association, has announced a new strategic partnership with the Hong Kong Investor Relations Association (HKIRA) that will bring the programming and education initiatives of both organizations closer together.

"HKIRA is excited to partner with National Investor Relations Institute (NIRI)," said Dr. Eva Chan, Chairman of HKIRA. "It is the mission of HKIRA to advance the professional development of our members and the best practices in investor relations.
