PRSA Hoosier Chapter celebrates Indiana best in PR

  • August 7, 2021

Following a long and difficult 2020 for all, public relations professionals from across Indiana came back together for an in-person celebration Wednesday, June 2, at the Pinnacle Awards banquet at Fountain Square Theatre.

The annual event, hosted by the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) Hoosier Chapter, recognized the state’s top PR industry programs and projects – along with a special category for COVID-19 communications — for 2020. Other categories included media relations, external communications, and audiovisual.

The event was held in a hybrid in-person and virtual format after being completely virtual in 2020. PR professional and former broadcast journalist Gene Rodriguez Miller was emcee.
