COUNTDOWN TO THE CELEBRATION
ABOUT PRWEEK HALL OF FAME
PRWeek is recognizing its 14th class of Hall of Fame honorees by inducting six inspirational and transformative PR executives who have made exceptional contributions to the communications industry over the course of their careers.
This year’s class comprises Ray Day from Allison Worldwide and Stagwell, Edelman’s Matthew Harrington, Golin Ketchum’s Ellen Ryan Mardiks, PR Council chief Kim Sample, former Bechtel and Raytheon exec Charlene Wheeless and General Motors PR andmarketing lead Lin-Hua Wu.
They join luminaries in the Hall of Fame who have molded the PR industry and communications as a craft, from Harold Burson to Pam Edstrom, Dan and Richard Edelman to Betsy Plank and Al Golin to Ofield Dukes.
This year’s inductees will be celebrated at a gala event in NYC on Thursday, November 19. The event is open to friends, family and colleagues of the honorees, as well as any PR pro or interested party who wants to experience — and benefit from — one of the most wonderful nights on the PR calendar.
