In The News
Nominated by Bo Soderbergh, executive director for the Tarrant
Area Food Bank, PHPR is one of three finalists in the Small Business category
for the Vision Fort Worth 20/20 Awards of the Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce.
The 20/20 Awards, open to all companies with Tarrant County offices, were established
to recognize businesses that attract, retain and engage young professionals in
our area.
Young professionals themselves nominate, judge, and vote for
companies: the chamber recognizes finalist companies for the value those businesses
place on young professional career development and community leadership.
“Vision Fort Worth’s 20/20 Awards are for forward-thinking
companies that make Fort Worth a better place for young talent to live, work
and play,” says Brianna Broussard, manager of Vision Fort Worth.
The judging process for finalists includes an employee satisfaction
survey by young professionals on staff, and young professionals throughout Tarrant
County can vote for their favorite finalist online beginning Wednesday, April
7, 2010, at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/votefor20-20.
If you’ve been favorably impressed with PHPR’s ability
to attract, mentor, and nurture a fine young professional staff, please cast
your vote online soon!
Winners will be announced at an awards celebration on Wednesday,
May 12, 2010.
PHPR is honored to have been nominated for and to be a finalist
in the 20/20 Awards, reaffirming founder and president Paige Hendricks’s
commitment to encouraging the careers of so many over the past three decades.

geo-location social games for business marketing.

When
she wasn’t becoming an expert in web lore and
social media, Lauren also saw loads of movies (and
movie stars) with her brother, a film director in
Austin. It was a great week!
