Shelley Spector, founder of the Museum of Public Relations, will be honored with the Page Distinguished Service Award at the Page Annual Conference on September 18 in Chicago. The award recognizes leaders who have strengthened the role of corporate communications and public relations in business and society through service to the profession.
“Shelley started the Museum of Public Relations with just a few boxes in her basement, and she’s built it into an amazing collection of rare artifacts, oral histories, letters, photos and film. Visitors learn about the profession's pioneers and their contributions to the practice,” said Maril Gagen MacDonald, founder and CEO of Gagen MacDonald and chair of the Page Honors Committee. “She has also been a champion for advancing diversity, equity and inclusion in our industry through publications and events.”
