WWPR Names Three Honorees for 2009 PR Woman of the Year Awards

Winner Will Be Named at November Luncheon

Dana Bash of CNN Will be Keynote Speaker

The Capital Buzz is, well, all a-buzz over the upcoming Washington Women in Public Relations' (WWPR) 20th annual PR Woman of the Year Award Luncheon.

Today WWPR named the three honorees selected by the judges, and announced that Dana Bash, Senior Congressional Correspondent for CNN, will be the keynote speaker.

Buzz readers know that we love this event because our own Denise Graveline was the 2002 PR Woman of the Year, I (Kate Perrin) chaired the very first PR Woman of the Year event 20 years ago (yikes!), and no other award offers the suspense of seeing who will be the winner plus a fabulous raffle that benefits their pro bono client. And this year I'm also buzzed because I nominated one of the three honorees!

2009 WWPR Woman of the Year Honorees:

• Jody Arlington, Georgetown Entertainment and Media Alliance
• Kirsten Suto Seckler, Special Olympics
• Sarah Temple, Ogilvy Public Relations Worldwide

Put this event on your "must-attend" calendar now and take advantage of the Early Bird registration, good until Thursday, October 1.
