#PageCenterAwards
Join us for the sixth annual Arthur W. Page Center Awards to honor Christiane Amanpour, chief international anchor at CNN; Ken Chenault, chairman and managing director of the venture capital firm General Catalyst and former chairman and CEO of American Express; and Andy Polansky, chairman and CEO of IPG DXTRA and executive chairman at Weber Shandwick.
These renowned communicators will receive the Larry Foster Award for Integrity in Public Communication at a special virtual awards event on Feb. 23, 2022.
The three icons of integrity will be recognized for long careers ethically and responsibly communicating with the public. Each honoree will participate in a Q&A session to discuss the important role of truth-telling and integrity in their work.
The Page Center recognizes its founder Larry Foster's legacy by honoring communicators who have achieved national stature as trusted sources of information, thereby influencing the formation of public awareness, public opinion and public permission. The Larry Foster Award recognizes professional excellence in the fields of journalism, public relations and in the public sector.
