Congratulations to the Minnesota chapter for its strategic diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives and programming receiving second place honors in the PRSA Chapter Diversity Awards. Immediate Past President and 2020 D. Parke Gibson Pioneer Award recipient Marsha Pitts-Phillips, APR, and Treasurer/Secretary Emily Tackaberry, APR, accepted the award on behalf of the chapter on October 29 during the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Celebration at ICON.

The awards are given to chapters that embody and demonstrate key values in diversity, equity and inclusion, and that contribute to advancing diversity as shown by submissions of their best practices and/or case studies. Minnesota PRSA’s entry showcased the chapter’s commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion through programming like our annual Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Forum, virtual Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Chats and board and committee co-chair training and ongoing learning.
