Del Oro 2012
PRSA San Antonio hosted a banquet on May 3 at the DoubleTree Airport Hotel to recognize winners of the chapter’s tenth annual Del Oro Awards dinner and PRSA’s 65th anniversary. Univision’s beautiful and talented “Despierta San Antonio” host Cristina Blackwell served as the mistress of ceremonies. The chapter presented 26 trophies or awards in the La Plata division for PR campaigns and the El Bronce division for PR tactics. New to the program was the introduction of the “Best of Show” awards given to the practitioners or teams with the highest scoring La Plata entry and the highest scoring El Bronce entry and the Chapter’s Board Member of the Year award. Four practitioners received Del Oro Awards for outstanding individual achievement in public relations.
