Loflin Wins PRSA Award

Teresa Loflin, Community and Membership Relations Director for the High Point Museum, was awarded the Public Relations Society of America Tar Heel Chapter Leadership Award. Loflin has served on the board since 2008 as the Vice President of Membership. During that time, the Chapter’s membership has increased by 34% and was recognized nationally as the fastest growing medium sized chapter in 2008.

"Teresa is a huge asset to our organization and has done so much behind the scenes, it's only fitting that she is recognized with this award,” Donnie Turlington, PRSA Board President, said. “As an advocate for the membership, she does a great job of keeping each person on the board of directors focused on our goal of serving the members and advancing the professional."

The Public Relations Society of America, headquartered in New York City, N.Y., is the world's largest professional organization for public relations professionals, with nearly 20,000 members, organized into 117 Chapters nationwide, who represent business and industry, counseling firms, government, associations, hospitals, schools, professional services firms and nonprofit organizations.

The Tar Heel Chapter represents the Triad region (Greensboro, High Point and Winston-Salem), the western Piedmont and throughout western North Carolina to Tennessee. The Chapter, chartered in 1981, currently has 112 members.

“The Tar Heel chapter consists of some of the brightest public relations practitioners in the Triad and I would put their work and individual efforts up against the membership of any other chapter in North Carolina,” Turlington said. “To be a Spinks Award winner means that you are one of the best of the best among the state’s communicators.”

The High Point Museum collects, preserves and interprets the history of greater High Point to develop, encourage and foster a shared understanding and appreciation of our community through a knowledge of its past.
