CMPRSA Pace AwardsLANSING, Mich., April 25, 2014 – The Central Michigan Chapter of the Public Relations Society of America (CMPRSA) presented Lambert with a Pinnacle Award during the 2014 PACE Awards celebration on Thursday, April 24.

Lambert was recognized in the Tactics category for a series of op-eds created for Michigan’s University Research Corridor on behalf of the presidents of Michigan State University, the University of Michigan and Wayne State University, as well as for the URC executive director, entrepreneurial URC alumni and other supporters of the URC. The articles were used in major market media publications and effectively helped market the URC to a wide audience.

More than 300 organizations have been recognized by the CMPRSA for excellence in public relations over the past two decades from nonprofit organizations, corporations and public and private agencies in Clinton, Eaton, Genesee, Gratiot, Ingham, Jackson, Livingston and Shiawassee counties.
