CHARLESTON, W.Va. — It’s one of the moments we have all been waiting for — the announcement of the 2024 West Virginia Press Association advertising award winners.
Held on Aug. 9, at the Four Points by Sheraton in Charleston, members of the media gathered together to cheer for their peers as winner after winner accepted their awards.
The West Virginia Press Association (WVPA) would like to congratulate all of the winners for their hard work this past year.
“We love this time of year,” said WVPA Coordinator of Special Events Stella Gill. “We get to join together as one big newspaper family and showcase the best of what we do.”
“We would like to give a special ‘Thank You’ to The Health Plan, who sponsored this year’s advertising awards luncheon. We wouldn’t be able to hold events like these without our wonderful sponsors,” Gill continued.
In addition to the advertising awards luncheon on Friday, attendees were able to take a tour of the Ron and Stephanie Stovash Mobile Nursing Lab, learn about “The Legal Notice Landscape” from West Virginia State Senator Jack David Woodrum, R-Summers, and discuss “Connecting with Local Advertisers” with Tony Dobies, senior director of marketing at West Virginia University, Rickie Huffman, director of undergraduate recruitment and parents marketing at WVU, and Joey Gresham, director of marketing for the Dutch Miller Automotive Group.
WVPA President Hannah Heishman, publisher of the Moorefield Examiner in Hardy County, welcomed everyone to the convention during the annual President’s Reception. Guest speakers for the reception included West Virginia gubernatorial candidates Steve Williams (Democratic Party) and Erika Kolenich (Libertarian Party).
