Experience the 23rd Annual Washington PR Woman of the Year—Your Source for Inspiration
To celebrate the accomplishments of women who are raising the bar in public relations, WWPR will host its 23rd annual Washington PR Woman of the Year Award Luncheon on Thursday, November 15, 2012, at the Grand Hyatt Washington. Tickets are $75 for WWPR and PRSA members; $85 for non-members; and $750 for a corporate table (10 tickets).
The Woman of the Year luncheon, established in 1990, is WWPR’s signature event. It is an annual experience fostering camaraderie among women in public relations, culminating in a must-attend event that honors the achievements of those who have reached a pinnacle in the profession. This year, we will be celebrating the accomplishments of three finalists—one of these outstanding honorees will be named the Washington PR Woman of the Year!
