special since we put so much work into each of these projects,” said Brooke Zimny,
director of communications and marketing. “I’m thankful for each member of our team
and their key roles in creating this outstanding work.”
More than 30 PRSA professionals from across the nation served as judges to select
the 2018 Prism finalists for each division, and each judge held an Accreditation in
Public Relations certification.
