At the Union League Club in Chicago on Thursday, Oct. 27, we once again toasted our profession's outstanding mentors. We honored six outstanding mentors in front of more than 300 public relations practitioners, educators and students. This year's banquet attendance figured exceeded last year's inaugural event.
We honored the following professionals who were selected by their peers, our Host Committee, or members of our Board:
Legacy: Ann Barkelew, senior counselor and founding general manager of Fleishman-Hillard Minneapolis/St. Paul
Agency: Howard Paster (posthumously), former chairman and chief executive officer, Hill & Knowlton
Young Professional: Joseph Tateoka, associate, Technology Practice, Burson-Marsteller
Educator: Dr. Rochelle Ford, associate dean for research and academic affairs of the John H. Johnson School of Communications, Howard University
Corporate: John Onoda, advisory board, Fleishman-Hillard
Executive: Peter Hirshberg, chief executive officer, The Re:imagine Group
Proceeds from the dinner will be used to fund a variety of programs in support of the Plank Center's mission, such as scholarships, publications, video interviews with leaders, an online magazine, Webinars, and research grants.
