Quill + Khator = EPIC

This years Bronze Quill Gala awards are sure to be something special. Judges are proud to announce their choice for Executive Communicator of the Year, the Winner’s Showcase Gallery, and a premier awards event honoring Houston’s very own best communications work.

For those who aren’t aware, the Gala will be held on Tuesday, May 8, 2012 at The Junior League of Houston and is presented by IABC Houston's chapter.

In addition UH President Renu Khator will be in attendance and would love to be surrounded by her fellow COOG’S.

President Khator overseas an organization that quenches the thirst of more than 65,000 students yearly, and has “an annual budget that exceeds $1.3 billion. UH generates a $3 billion-plus impact on the Greater Houston area’s economy each year.”

 

Recently Khator earned global respect when she was named to the Indian Prime Minister’s Global Advisory Council. She currently sits on many local, state and international boards like the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, the Greater Houston Partnership and the Texas Medical Center CEO Group to just mention a few. Khator is also a noted scholar and has published books and articles in the field of global environmental policy.

The first Indian immigrant to head a comprehensive public research university in the United States, Khator was appointed in January 2008 and has take this university to Tier 1 status in less time than projected. This is only one of the reasons IABC Houston will recognize Khator achievements of a local top-level business/organizational leader who actively supports the power of communications.

“Dr. Khator exemplifies the qualities of a true leader – and communicator – that we look for in bestowing this award,” said Elalin W. Krause, president of IABC Houston. “Her ability to keep all UH constituencies engaged and informed is unique. When it comes to communications, she ‘gets it,’ which is why we’re so happy to honor her.”

This event should be history in the making. This is the beginning of a movement which I personally feel isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Reserve your seat or read my next post about information on how you could get in for free. (Volunteering or volunteerism) It is an excellent way to network and establish connections, in addition to the self-satisfaction that you helped others out.

President Khator deserves to be honored so lets make it happen COOG’S!

PS

Thought I’d share a quote… Till the next time.

Everyone can be great because anyone can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't even have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve... You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love...
