Congrats to Kathy! I worked with her when I was in the GNV chapter & she was a wonderful help in me getting my APR! Couldn't think of a better recipient!

As I told Kathy during annual conference, it was a pleasure to not only review her nomination from a group of outstanding FPRA members, but to be part of the presentation. She was state president when I was named the Dillin recipient and Wednesday night's ceremony provided a special feeling to be able to share the presentation with State President Jessica Rye. Afterward, I heard many members talk about Kathy coming to their chapter to make a presentation on Golden Image, Accreditation, Leadership and much more. Kathy, your public relations peers love and respect you for all of your accomplishments and contributions to FPRA!!
