PRWeek U.S. unveils 13^th Hall of Fame class

The six inductees in the class of 2025 will be honored at an event in New York City on November 20. 

PRWeek is set to celebrate its Hall of Fame, which was set up in 2013 to recognize individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the communications industry.

This year’s class comprises Kathy Bloomgarden from Ruder Finn, Johnson & Johnson’s Vanessa Broadhurst, University of Florida’s Pat Ford, Torod Neptune from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, FleishmanHillard’s John Saunders, and Real Chemistry’s Jim Weiss.

They join previously inducted PR pros who paved the way for the modern world of PR, including Harold Burson, Betsy Plank, Al Golin, David Finn, Pam Edstrom, Dan and Richard Edelman, Marilyn Laurie, Ofield Dukes and Marcia Silverman.

This year’s inductees will be celebrated at a gala event in NYC on Thursday, November 20. 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. 

It will be a celebration of PR legends as we honor the 2025 Hall of Fame and the previous recipients of this prestigious honor.
