As a young communications professional it has been very rewarding to plan the 2011 Washington PR Woman of the Year Award Luncheon, WWPR’s signature event. So many companies and people have shown immense generosity, and I have gotten a glimpse of the accolades and fulfilling career a woman can have if she follows her dreams and remains tenacious. This preview has been courtesy of our three Washington PR Woman of the Year honorees. These women embody the integrity and characteristics of a true leader in public relations, here are some highlights of their amazing biographies.
