PRSA webIrvine Ranch Water District has received a PROTOS Award from the Orange County Public Relations Society of America in the community relations/institutional programs category for its Always Water Smart Outreach Campaign.

IRWD received the award at PRSA’s 38th annual PROTOS Awards Ceremony on June 4, which honors the top Orange County public relations organizations and professionals for outstanding campaigns and achievements.

“The PROTOS awards recognize the best of the best,” said PRSA President Danny Craig. “It’s a major feather in IRWD’s cap, because it’s a very competitive process.”

Craig added that that the judging was conducted by public relations professionals in Tennessee, which promotes objectivity in the process.
