The LBW Community College Marketing Department recently attended this year’s Alabama Community College System Public Relations Association annual meeting and took home some tools from the conference.

Maggie Mash, who serves as the college’s marketing director as well as the public relations officer. She won the Best in Show award and a Pyramid Award for the LBWCC Career Cruiser. Mash also received two certificates of accomplishment. One was from the special Events category of The college’s “Community Candor” lecture series. The other was awarded in the Social Media Campaign category for the StrongHER Saints campaign.

“I was ecstatic that the judges deemed my entries to be an award-winning entry, and especially to be awarded an award of Best in Show, amongst all entries submitted. It’s a truly huge achievement,” Mash said.

The conference of this year featured the “All Over the Place” theme. It was held on September. 6-8 at the Lodge located at Gulf State Park in Gulf Shores.

Mash reported that judges from three states chose Pyramid Award winners in each category. These winners were sent to three additional judges who scored the Best in Show in two categories which were electronic and print.

“This campaign stands out. Its Career Cruiser is a unique way to encourage students to go to college and provide a gap for other needs in education,” judges said about the LBW’s educational vehicle for recreational use.

Mash is proud to serve the community in a variety of ways, but most notably being the marketing manager for the College.

“I’m grateful for your help as everything I do is a collaboration with other people. Each initiative requires the effort of a multitude of people to bring it to the world. One of my most favorite aspects of my job is working with the incredible team here at LBW,” she said.
