Dec. 7, 2011 Source: Agricultural Relations Council (ARC) Nominations are now open for the Agricultural Public Relations Hall of Fame, a new award program honoring agricultural public relations professionals who have made lifetime contributions to the industry. The program, sponsored by the Agricultural Relations Council and Agri Marketing magazine, will recognize its first recipients at the March 2012 ARC annual meeting in Charleston, SC. Nominations will close Jan. 15, 2012. Nominees must be current or past members of ARC to be considered. Inductees will be selected based on criteria including: • Years of membership in ARC; • Service to ARC (president, board member, committee chair, etc.); • Professional accomplishments/achievements in ag communications; and • Awards/Recognition in service to ag communications within ARC and also outside of the organization. "There is no program like this in the agricultural public relations industry and it's time to recognize those who have made significant contributions in ag PR, going back to the 1950s or even earlier," said ARC Board President Mace Thornton. "ARC is clearly the best organization to properly recognize the outstanding achievements of these individuals." Three inductees will be chosen for 2012. In future years, one or two individuals will be inducted annually. Nominations will be reviewed and chosen by a committee of ARC members. "We encourage all members of the agricultural communications community - whether they be on the agency, corporate or association side - to consider nominating an individual for this award," said Deron Johnson, ARC Hall of Fame committee chair. "We are excited to launch this program and eager to recognize the individuals who have shaped the agricultural public relations profession." For additional questions, please call the ARC office at: 952/758-5811. Or download the nomination form. E-mail ARC at arc@gardnerandgardnercommunications.com. Tweet |
