FPRA honors Amanda Forbes with Bob Davis Award
The Orlando Area Chapter of the Florida Public Relations Association on Wednesday, Aug. 27 honored Amanda Forbes, account executive at Fry Hammond Barr, as the recipient of the chapter’s 2008 Bob Davis Award for outstanding contributions to the public relations profession.
The award is presented annually to an individual for his or her “behind the scenes” volunteer efforts that go largely unnoticed by chapter members and are not recognized by other awards programs.
The award is named in honor of Bob Davis, Ph.D., ABC, APR, CPRC, a retired professor from the University of Central Florida who has given tirelessly to FPRA and the profession for the past three decades.
Since joining FPRA, Amanda has served two years on the Chapter's board of directors as well as on several committees. She was also a member of the blog team for this year's FPRA annual conference in Kissimmee. Beginning Sept. 1, she will serve on the Orlando board as vice president of membership.
