he Northwest Florida Coast Chapter of FPRA held their 2019 Image Awards ceremony at Cantina Laredo on 
April 16. The event was put together to celebrate the best in the communication industry — honoring innovative 
public relations campaigns, the best in communication leaders, and more. In addition to the awards ceremony, 
guests enjoyed networking and a delicious lunch provided by Cantina Laredo.

The biggest winner of the event was Whitney Lee of Lee-IMC winning more than a few awards. She  received two awards for 

the “Everything” show on Get The Coast,  two for the 10 Year Anniversary campaign Lee IMC did with The Taylor Haugen 
Foundation, and she was named Communicator of the Year. 

Excited but yet very humbled, Whitney said, “Honestly though, none of this is about me. I owe this recognition to my 

amazing clients and Jared Williams with Get the Coast. Also a HUGE thanks to my team at Lee IMC - Meagan Atwood and 
Ragan Lanae Griggs. I’m honored and so grateful to work with such amazing people.”
