The APRs’ Choice Award provides the opportunity for Alaska’s public relations professionals holding the Accreditation in Public Relations (APR) designation to vote for their favorite campaign, a twist on a People’s Choice Award.

The Accreditation in Public Relations (APR) demonstrates significant knowledge of ethical public relations as a management function.

This year’s APRs' Choice Award goes to the Bag It Up! organizing committee for their fundraising event that combined a fun, high-energy concept with intentional, informed, strategic communications and outreach that had meaningful impact and measurable results.

Congratulations to the team of Deanna Tedders, Melinda Taylor, Jonathon Taylor, Dora Wilson and Leslie Jones!
