DPA COMMUNICATOR OF ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
The annual Communicator of Achievement Award is the highest
honor DPA bestows on its members. First and foremost, the COA Award is given
for a lifetime of achievement in the communications profession. And second,
it recognizes exemplary service to the community and to humanity as well as
to the profession, especially to Delaware Press Association and the National
Federation of Press Women.
The award is presented at the annual DPA Holiday Luncheon, held on the first
or second Saturday of December. Charter member Gloria Galloway, former
executive editor of two newspapers in New Hampshire, was named the
first-ever DPA Communicator of Achievement. NFPW president Ruth Anna, of
Colorado, presented the 1996 COA award to Gloria for a distinguished 50-year
career in journalism.
