Who Are the 2016 President’s Marketing Awards Winners?

May 5, 2016

Congratulations to the 18^th Annual President’s Marketing Awards winners! A list of honorees and a copy of the 2016 PMA brochure are on the marketing awards website at www.scouting.org/marketingawards. The honorees were recognized for their creativity, excellence in marketing on behalf of the Boy Scouts of America and alignment with national brand standards. The brochure features the honorees along with their winning entry. More than 300 entries were submitted this year!

Effective marketing can positively impact almost all aspects of a council’s operations from fundraising to recruiting. These awards highlight the great local work happening across the country. The PMA staff and judges want to thank all of those who submitted work to this year’s awards.

The PMA reception for winners will be held May 26 from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m (CST). Check the NAM meeting schedule for the location.
