“The biggest opportunity when it comes to diversity and inclusion is building cultures of inclusivity,” said Renee Wilson, President, PR Council. “The communications industry has both a great opportunity and a great need to build inclusive cultures. That’s what these awards are all about.”
“Now in its 7th year, this awards program is truly encouraging me more than ever,” said Gideon Fidelzeid, managing editor, PRWeek. “Of course the industry still has a long way to go on the crucial issue of diversity and inclusion. However, the number of entries this year, along with the quality of those submissions, underscores a broader commitment by organizations of all kinds to address the matter in a meaningful way. And that only reinforces the level of honor and pride PRWeek takes in partnering with the PR Council on this program.”
