Joe Curley Rising Leaders

Nominate a Chapter Member for the 2024 CWC-FPRA Joe Curley Rising Leader Award

The Central West Coast Chapter of the Florida Public Relations Association (CWC-FPRA) invites you to nominate an up-and-coming member for the chapter’s Joe Curley Rising Leader Award. The goal of the award is to recognize personal dedication and engagement from our chapter’s rising leaders (and we have a lot!).

This chapter honor includes a scholarship to the 2024 PR & Comms Summit, which takes place in Tampa August 4-7. Honorees from each FPRA chapter around the state will be recognized throughout the summer as part of the 2024 Joe Curley Rising Leader Class and will be recognized on stage at the Presidents’ Luncheon, held during the Summit.

From the 2024 Joe Curley Rising Leader Class, a state-wide Joe Curley Rising Leader honoree will be selected at the Summit and will receive a $500 cash award and a $500 FPRA credit that the recipient can use at their discretion for state professional development seminars, workshops or the PR & Comms Summit. Good luck!


Eligibility
– Must be a current member of the chapter and a member of FPRA for a minimum of two years (but no more than five years) prior to nomination.

You can self-nominate or nominate another member for this award.
