End-of-Year Board Luncheon

It's a tradition that the outgoing board of the Dayton Chapter of the Public Relations Society of America have an end-of-year luncheon in December. As the chapter's 2023 president, it was my honor today to host this final event of our very productive year.

Our annual Gem City PR Awards, held at Top of the Market on May 24, recognized the fine work done by "for profit and not-for-profit, large agencies and small teams, marketing campaigns and terrific tactics."

Our annual Media Day, held at the Dayton Metro Library on Oct. 31, drew a large crowd for panel and tabletop discussions with Dayton area journalists and practitioners as we delved into "the changing landscape of PR and media relations."

The East Central District recognized our efforts with a 2023 Prominent Chapter Award!

And I represented our chapter at PRSA's annual national conference, ICON, held this year in Nashville.

Thank you so very much to our officers and committee chairs who made it all possible: Christine Bevins, Kristen Bowser, Emily Broughton, Michelle Crawley, Jocelyn Hodson, Hannah Krafka, Niki Mayakova, Joshua McGee, Neej Mescher, Leah Moon, Stacy Porter, Bryan Suddith, Julie Thompson, Mark Weinstein, and Kailey Yeakley.

And special thank yous to my mentor, past president Emily Broughton, and my always reliable president-elect, incoming 2024 president Hannah Krafka!

PRominent Award of Excellence for Dayton PRSA

PRSA East Central District recognizes member chapters that demonstrate each year exemplary service to the PR profession through values-based work and service.

In 2023, the PRSA Dayton Chapter was presented with a PRominent Award, which I accepted as the chapter's president, along with our President-Elect Hannah Krafka.

The award was presented by Mark Weinstein, a member of the PRSA East Central District Board of Directors, in front of the large gathering at our chapter's Media Day on Oct. 31, 2023.
