Impact Award Honorees for Public Relations Society of America, Tucson Chapter
On November 2nd, the Southern Arizona chapter of the Public Relations Society of America honored public relations, marketing and communications professionals as part of its annual Impact Awards. Matt Russell, of Russell Public Communications, was the evening’s MC. The theme for the sold out event, held at St. Philip’s Plaza, was “Building a Legacy, Leaving a Legacy,” to honor the continuum of exceptional rookie to seasoned professionals and their work.
