2014 Chapter Awards: Unsung Hero and Rising Star

Chapter awards and student scholarships were presented during Fort Worth PRSA’s December luncheon at Colonial Country Club.

Unsung Hero

Congratulations to Moncrief Cancer Institute’s Liz Heck for being recognized as the 2014 Unsung Hero. The Unsung Hero award is given to recognize a member who has an unwavering dedication to the chapter and in whom we relied heavily on for guidance and service.

“Liz willingly shifted her volunteer service and role expectations when she stepped in and took over the Treasurer’s position early on in the year after the position was left vacant from a member departure,” said chapter president Richie Escovedo. “She was my go-to source for chapter finances having served in that same role last year plus she’s on track for continued chapter leadership as the 2015 VP of Membership/President-Elect.”

Rising Star

Congratulations to the Balcom Agency’s Lesley Dupre for being recognized as the 2014 Rising Star. The Rising Star chapter award is a way for the chapter to recognize and thank a member who has shown a growing commitment to the chapter, someone who seeks opportunities to better their volunteer role, and who continually provides exceptional service.

“Lesley provided exceptional service to the chapter as this year’s Digital Media Chair and sought ways to improve and amplify PRSA’s events and messages,” said Escovedo. “We look forward to her continued leadership as she takes on a new role in 2015 as Secretary.”
