[**The Spectrum Circle**](http://%28www.thespectrumcircle.com/?ref=capitolcommunicator.com) **announced that** [**Nyree Wright**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/nyreewright/?ref=capitolcommunicator.com) **will receive an Innovation in Media award**, May 16, at The Spectrum Circle Awards Luncheon in D.C.

The Spectrum Circle Awards Luncheon is the signature annual event hosted by The Spectrum Circle, bringing together “a powerful community of trailblazing women from across the United States. This gathering celebrates innovation, leadership, and impact, uniting influential women from numerous industries—including business, technology, media, finance, policy, health, sports, and the arts—who are shaping the future.”

Wright is currently Executive Vice President, Crisis & Risk Communications for Edelman. She is the former Senior Vice President for Public Relations at TV One Networks and, before that, was Executive Vice President/Senior Consultant of Reputation Management at Porter Novelli.

Wright, states The Spectrum Circle, “has received top industry awards, including the National Press Club’s coveted Vivian Award for years 2013, 2014 and 2017\. The Vivian Awards were established by former NPC president Vivian Vahlberg in 1982 to honor outstanding service to the Club. Nyree earned this recognition through hard work for one of the most important associations in the DC marketplace. As a member of the NPC’s Speakers Committee in 2013, she successfully pitched, managed and orchestrated sold-out luncheons for notable speakers, including Ben Jealous (NAACP President & CEO), Bob Johnson (Black Entertainment Television/BET Founder) and Gloria Steinem (the feminist activist) on the eve of her receiving the 2013 Presidential Medal of Freedom.

“Nyree was named to Washington Life Magazine’s “The Young & the Guest List 2014”, which “honors the 300+ under 40 geniuses, visionaries, crusaders & innovators shaping Washington’s future.” She was also featured in Capitol Communicator’s “Up Close & Personal Profiles” (March 2015).

“In June 2022, Nyree was appointed to the board of National Association for Multi-ethnicity in Communications (NAMIC), the premier organization that educates, advocates and empowers for multi-ethnic diversity in the communications industry. The very same month, she was invited and joined the Class of 2022 for the Recording Academy (GRAMMYS).”
