AWC-DC COMBINES ANNUAL TEA AND MATRIX AWARDS

This year the Association for Women in Communications DC chapter (AWC-DC) is combining the most gracious networking event in town -- their Annual Tea at The Willard -- with one of the most under-attended -- the Matrix Awards. 

Whether the August 25th hybrid results in success for both remains to be seen, but it certainly promises to be the most charming way to bestow a communications professional award we've seen in DC.   This year's honoree is Donna Vincent Roa.

AWC-DC has been shaking up its traditional calendar and trying a number of creative collaborations to build a stronger program offering.   Its multi-part Burson Breakfast series the second Wednesday of each month using the Burson-Marstellar digital strategy team has had a great turnout and welcomes members of most area communications groups at the member price.  (Next up: Digital Issues and Crisis Communications on September 14).  

In the past the Annual Tea has attracted an eclectic mix of communicators from PR to photography and so offers attendees a chance to make potentially useful connections with providers of specialized communications services.
