PRSA Colorado Annual Gold Pick Awards on May 7
The Colorado Chapter of the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) has announced that it will host its annual Gold Pick Awards on May 7 at the Ritz-Carlton in downtown Denver. At this rip-roarious affair, top communications professionals will gather to celebrate the success of public relations in Denver. Winners of the prestigious Gold Pick and Silver Pick awards will be announced during the celebration, which also includes entertainment, a live auction and a special award presentation.
Guests are in for an evening of grandeur, swank and old-world charm. The Denver Business Journal’s Bruce Goldberg and job list impresario Andrew Hudson will lead the ceremony and will present the highest PR honors and special awards for Business Person and Public Relations Person of the Year.
Top students involved in PRSSA, the collegiate leg of the organization, offer themselves up on the sale block. A fast-paced auction will pair the highest bidder with a student from CSU to be their personal assistant, act as their social media coach or to fulfill any other business use for a day. The students will gain valuable insight into the industry, and businesses can gain a fresh perspective from the next generation of PR pros.
The event begins at 5:30 p.m. with registration, networking, cocktails and heavy hors d’oeuvres. An energetic pianist will set the mood with ragtime favorites as Denver’s best takes advantage of the great networking opportunity. At 7 p.m., the emcees will start the ceremony honoring the evening’s winners. The student auction takes place during intermission. Individual reservations for PRSA Colorado members are $75, non-PRSA Colorado members are $90 and students are $45 before April 27. Corporate tables of 10 are available for $800.
The Public Relations Society of America is the world’s largest organization for public relations, advancing the profession and the professional. The Colorado Chapter, based in Denver, is one of 100 chapters nationwide. PRSA has nearly 32,000 professional and student members – nearly 500 of whom belong to the Colorado Chapter.
