I like how those two organizations partner here in Salt Lake to produce this annual awards program. It makes for good economies of scale and brings like minded professionals together.

I had the privilege of being nominated as the public relations professional of the year as part of this year’s awards. However, the recognition went to a colleague, Jason Mathis, who directs public relations efforts for the Downtown Alliance. Jason is a very well deserving recipient and has done some tremendous work on behalf of Downtown Alliance, Salt Lake City and the Salt Lake Chamber. Congratulations, Jason.

There were a couple agencies that walked away with a handful of awards, as well as one of the companies with which I’ve done some consulting this year, MountainStar.

Congratulations to all the award recipients on a job well done!
