Washington Women in Public Relations (WWPR) has announced the honorees for this year's Washington PR Woman of the Year Award. The winner will be chosen from the following honorees at WWPR's signature award ceremony on November 10, 2010, from noon to 2 p.m. at the Mandarin Oriental in Washington, D.C.

Honorees are:
· Donna Vincent Roa, PhD, ABC, CSR-P, Managing Partner & Chief Strategist, Vincent Roa Group LLC

The PR Woman of the Year Award is presented to a public relations practitioner working in the Washington Metropolitan area who has demonstrated leadership, integrity and community involvement.

Dee Dee Myers, former White House Press Secretary, will serve as the keynote speaker. Myers recently joined The Glover Park Group as Managing Director in its Public Affairs practice. She served as White House Press Secretary for two years under the Clinton administration, from 1993 to 1994, and is the first woman and second-youngest to hold that position.

A benefit raffle will be held during the event where a portion of the raffle proceeds will go to WWPR's pro bono client, the Children's Law Center, the leading legal services provider in the District for at-risk children and their families.
