2024 Paladin Awards
The Paladin Awards is the PRSA Foundation’s signature event, honoring members of the public relations profession who have made an indelible impact on our community, particularly in the fight for diversity and inclusion critical to making us reflective of the stakeholders we serve. The event serves as the primary fundraiser for the PRSA Foundation, with proceeds from the evening going to support grants and scholarships designed to help jump-start the careers of promising public relations and communications students from diverse backgrounds.
The 2024 Paladin Award will be presented to Trisch L. Smith, Global Chief Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Officer at Edelman. Diversity and equity champion, communications counselor, and public relations veteran are just a few words used to describe Trisch L. Smith. During her tenure with Edelman, the world’s leading global communications marketing agency, Smith has managed stakeholder outreach, strategic positioning, crisis and reputation management campaigns for a host of companies seeking to engage a broad spectrum of stakeholders.
