Connecting Point Communications CEO Serves as Silver Anvil Judge

March 7, 2003 – San Francisco, CA. Connecting Point Communications announced that Christine Boehlke, Founder and CEO, will participate as a judge in choosing the 2003 Silver Anvil Awards. The Silver Anvil Awards are an annual program of the Public Relations Society of America and often are referred to as “the Academy Awards of public relations.” Judging takes place in New York City later this month. Winners then are announced at a gala event, also in New York City, in June.

Silver Anvils are awarded in 53 categories. Entrants submit write-ups following strict guidelines on which judges focus, along with binders that include samples of the activities described in the summary documents. More than 1,000 entries usually are submitted each year.

“I’m delighted to be asked to participate in this very important professional event,” said Christine Boehlke, the firm’s Founder and CEO. “Peer review competitions of this nature help set new standards of best practices for our entire profession and certainly The Silver Anvil is the most rigid and most respected of all. I am honored to join a very distinguished panel of my peers in contributing to this year’s competition.”

Connecting Point Communications is one of North America's leading independent public relations firms. Founded in 2003 by Christine and William Boehlke, formerly CEOs of Phase Two Strategies, and headquartered in San Francisco, Connecting Point Communications connects clients with the people who will help them succeed.
