I’m flattered to be the first official post on the Awards blog. The blog is a result of our new media strategy for this year’s Awards, which will be unlike anything you’ve experienced before. We’re evolving our look, tone, approach and event flow -- so sit back and enjoy the virtual "ride." I encourage you to check out this blog weekly to view or respond to posts from Committee members and to let us know how we can help you prepare your entries or answer questions you may have about the Awards dinner, slated for Thursday June 12!
I’m so proud and lucky to be part of this solid Committee! The members of the Awards Committee are top-notch PR professionals who are committed to doing great work, both on- and off- the job! I’m humbled by their work ethic and creativity and am in awe of their ability to keep the ball moving forward.
Staying on track is key during this planning process. We had our first planning meeting in late January and we’re off to a great start! Our Committee meets every two weeks to discuss various initiatives from identifying strategies to build buzz for the Awards program, to talking about what types of hors d’oeuvres we’ll have at the Awards dinner. During the planning process, our Committee members have had a chance to get connected and build new relationships with their teammates and generate great ideas for the Awards initiative! And we hope you'll do the same as you move forward with your entries-preparation-process.

Our goal is to be a resource for you, our members, to connect you with peers who may be preparing entries and to keep you energized, as we know the process can be daunting at times!
