The John W. Hill Award
Presented by Hill & Knowlton, The John W. Hill Award is the New York Chapter's most prestigious individual award. Named for the founder of Hill & Knowlton, one of the world's preeminent public relations firms, it is presented for leadership in the practice of public relations, demonstration of the highest standards of ethical conduct, and service to the public. Established in 1976 and conferred annually since 1977, the award is a reminder of Hill's belief that experience, quality, integrity and judgment are the key elements of public relations practice. Each year's candidates must meet the following criteria:
- Leadership in the development of the practice of public relations other than through service to PRSA
- Demonstration of the highest standards of ethical conduct
- Service to the public beyond the scope of the nominee's regular public relations duties
Nominees may not be the current PRSA-NY president or a recipient within the past 10 years of the PRSA Gold Anvil or similar award.
