The Plank Center is committed to developing the next generation of leaders and advancing the profession. Each year, a new class of PR leaders and mentors are honored at The Plank Center’s Milestones in Mentoring Gala. It is our honor to recognize leaders whose commitment to mentoring generates a powerhouse of influence and accelerates success in our profession.
More than 35 honorees, designated as Plank Mentors, have shared their advice and counsel on mentoring and leading throughout one’s career.
