PRSA Orlando 2022 Chapter Recognition Awards Gala & Annual Meeting Recap
By: Laura Lord-Blackwell, APR
Early this month, we held our second annual Chapter Recognition Awards Gala & Annual Meeting.
We were glad to have Carolyn Fennell, Senior Director of Public Affairs and Community Relations for the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority, serve as a powerful keynote speaker. In addition to sharing a case study on Terminal C and the airport’s expansion, she left us with some key takeaways regarding the value of collaboration, communication and sharing credit.
