#PageCenterAwards
Join us for the seventh annual Arthur W. Page Center Awards to honor Mary Barra, chair and CEO of General Motors; Lester Holt, anchor and managing editor of “NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt" and anchor of “Dateline NBC;” and Jon Iwata, former senior vice president and chief brand officer at IBM.
These renowned communicators will receive the Larry Foster Award for Integrity in Public Communication at a special virtual awards event on Feb. 22, 2023.
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 business, journalism, public relations and in the public sector.
