How does it feel to win a Ragan Recognition Award?

"To me, a Ragan Recognition Award is the Oscar for communicators. It truly doesn't get better than recognition from Ragan—the Godfather of the communications industry! On a personal level, the award validated my passion for writing and gives me the strength, conviction and perseverance to go after the gripping stories that actually tell about people, not companies. There is a way to engage readers in a story, while still getting your company's message across. It's all about the power of human connections...To receive recognition on a national front proves that talent, hard work and good stories exist anywhere, and that being a smaller player among giants is no excuse for not going after greatness."
