FH Creates Diversity Fellowships
Fleishman-Hillard International Communications has launched a program to strengthen the diversity of its staff by actively recruiting minority college students for a structured, high-level career entry program. The Alfred Fleishman Diversity Fellowships, named for one of the company's founders, will offer senior mentoring, professional development and employment opportunities with the firm for minority college students.
The Alfred Fleishman Diversity Fellowships focus on identifying and recruiting talented seniors and graduate students at U.S. colleges and universities. Initial Fleishman-Hillard offices participating in the program are Atlanta , Dallas , Chicago , New York , St. Louis , San Francisco and Washington, D.C. , with additional offices adding fellowships in the future. Fleishman-Hillard recruiters will work with fellowship coordinators in each office and with university faculty to identify talented communications students for six- to 12-month paid fellowships with benefits. Recruiting will begin in the first quarter of 2012, with a target of awarding the first fellowships by summer. Upon successful completion of the fellowship program, participants will be considered for employment with Fleishman-Hillard.

AMV BBDO's Farah Ramzan Golant was awarded the Commander of the order of the British Empire (CBE), Britain's highest honor, on New Year's Eve 2010 in recognition of her contributions to the advertising industry.
The award is typically presented to leaders in business and public sector, but rarely to individuals in advertising and communications. Ramzan Golant's award speaks to the increasingly important role advertising and communications have in the global economy and the unique culture Ramzan Golant has fostered as the leader of AMV BBDO.
