JLV & the ABCs - Awards, a Birthday and Collaborations
It has been a whirlwind few months! So many exciting developments have occurred with the business and our clients. The highlight for me personally was on May 30th, when I accepted the 2024 Excellence in Public Relations Award from PRSA Richmond. I am still in shock that I was selected for this tremendous honor, following in the footsteps of so many talented individuals in our profession. Read the news release HERE. See the surprise video and my speech titled “Get Curious, Get Connected and Get in the Gain,” HERE. I am so grateful for every colleague, client, friend and family member who has walked alongside me in my professional journey to entrepreneurship. - Jill
