2010 IMPACT Awards for Excellence in Public Relations
Deadline extended to Sept 10
To celebrate the unique value and weight of good, strategic, effective PR, PRSA of Southern Arizona is debuting the 2010 IMPACT Awards. In addition to renaming our awards we have made several other changes, including revising awards categories and judging criteria to help more of Southern Arizona’s outstanding PR work get the recognition it deserves.
Anyone can enter to win an IMPACT award for a public relations campaign or tactic conducted between January 2009 and June 2010. We invite businesses and organizations across the community, small or large, to submit an entry, and to join us October 26, 5-7 pm for the Impact Awards Ceremony. Don't forget to nominate a deserving colleague for Outstanding New PR Practitioner, PR Practitioner of the Year or a Lifetime Achievement Award.

Jodi Horton, APR, has been accepted for induction into the Public Relations Society of America College of Fellows. Horton's selection recognizes her exceptional contributions to the advancement of the public relations profession, the Public Relations Society of America and the Tucson community for more than 20 years. As a role model to professionals and students within Arizona, the nation and internationally, Horton joins the less than two percent of PRSA's 22,000 members who hold this lofty status. Horton will be presented with her Fellows medallion at an Oct. 16 PRSA College of Fellows Induction Dinner in Washington, D.C. Congratulations!
congratulations, Lynn Perez-Hewitt, on earning her Accreditation in Public Relations (APR). Lynn is the executive director of the Friends of Kartchner Caverns State Park and president of the Tucson Chapter of the Public Relations Society of America. She joins an elite group of approximately 6,000 public relations professionals who have achieved Accreditation status. Accreditation is a coveted designation and the hallmark for the public relations profession.
The Examination for Accreditation in Public Relations is a voluntary certification program for public relations professionals, administered by the Universal Accreditation Board (UAB). The purpose of Accreditation is to unify and advance the profession of public relations by identifying those who have demonstrated broad knowledge, experience and professional judgment in the field. The program seeks to improve public relations practice. The designation "Accredited in Public Relations" (APR) signifies a high professional level of experience and competence. If you have five or more years of experience in the public relations industry and are interested in earning your APR, visit http://www.praccreditation.org/aprChairsIndex.html for more information on the process.
