Washington, DC (PRWEB) November 10, 2006 -- More than 200 PR professionals gathered at the National Press Club for PR News' annual PR People Awards luncheon to celebrate the year's most outstanding PR achievements and to salute the leading communications pros. Presented by PR News, the leading trade publication among communicators, this highly notable awards program showcases the chosen few with the right combination of dedication, passion, creativity and proven success.
PR News' PR People and 15-to-Watch award programs generate thousands of entries, putting a spotlight on the best practices and the up-and-coming stars in the PR profession. The recipients of this year's awards beckon from corporations, nonprofits and agencies large and small. The winning PR People and 15-to-Watch likewise stood apart for their leadership, creativity and results-driven activities during the 2005 calendar year judging period.
Four PR executives were also named to the PR News Hall of Fame: D. Michelle Flowers, Richard Levick, Tom Martin and Victor Kamber.
