PR News - Top Women Awards 2018 | Access Intelligence, LLC | 25 August 2017 |

You know who the women superstars are on your PR team—now is your opportunity to let their peers and the entire PR News audience know who they are and how they’ve excelled in communications.
Women have long been at the forefront of public relations, creating communications strategies for brands, nonprofits and government agencies—managing crises, developing brand messages, protecting and building brand reputations and creating content for digital platforms. PR News’ Top Women in PR Awards will celebrate those women who have made bold advances in these areas in the last year for their own organizations or for clients.

We will salute women who work in communications for corporations, agencies, government organizations, academic institutions and nonprofits, of all titles and years of experience. Self nominations are accepted and past Top Women in PR honorees are also eligible to enter again. PR News will celebrate the winners at a special event in January 2018 and in editorial coverage in print and online.
