To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Episcopal Communicators, the Polly Bond awards theme was a 1970s disco party.
April 16-19, 2024, our Communications Director, Ashley Eastham, attended the Episcopal Communicators annual conference in Portland, Maine. Ashley was elected to the Board of Directors for the organization in 2023, and co-chairs the Membership Committee. At the 2024 conference, she presented a workshop entitled "Parish and Cathedral Communications: Beyond Beginner." For her work in 2023, often in collaboration with our excellent program staff, Ashley's submitted work was recognized in the following five categories, receiving the TOP award in two.
