PRSA Cincinnati invites you to nominate a deserving colleague for the next Werner-VonderHaar-Bogart Award by Friday, August 29, 2025!

What is the WVB Award?

The WVB Award is the highest accolade the Cincinnati PRSA Chapter can bestow upon its members. Named after three distinguished leaders—William Werner, Edward VonderHaar, and Judith Bogart—who have not only served as presidents of our chapter but also held significant roles as national PRSA presidents, this award epitomizes excellence in public relations.

The award is given to individuals who have demonstrated exceptional service across four critical areas: the chapter, the community, the profession, and the Society. Candidates are evaluated based on their achievements in at least three of these domains, showcasing their commitment to advancing our field and enriching the lives of those around them.
