With adversity comes unexpected goodwill and growth—silver linings. Join us as we award this year’s Jo Caldwell Meyer scholarships, celebrate our 2021 Banner award winners, and experience the generosity of spirit that comes from great challenge.
Originally named for banner headlines in newspapers, Banner Brunch attracts approximately 200 Austin communications professionals each year to reconnect, network, and brunch while celebrating WCA’s Banner Award honorees and Jo Caldwell Meyer Scholarship recipients. We invite you and your guests to gather virtually in celebration of the friendships, connections, and networks you’ve built through your involvement (past or present) with WCA. The event include keynote speaker Gay Gaddis, WCA’s 2020 Liz Carpenter Lifetime Achievement Award winner, T3 Founder, celebrated author and artist.
We are hosting Banner Brunch virtually on May 1, 2021. So, naturally we are going online with our annual Silent Auction!
