**PRSA Richmond announced that Beth Monroe, APR,** as this year’s [Thomas Jefferson Award](https://prsarichmond.org/?ref=capitolcommunicator.com) winner. The award recognizes the achievement of a seasoned public relations practitioner who has made an ongoing commitment to the advancement of the profession.

According to a release, for over 20 years, she has led public relations at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden, helping to establish the 50-acre oasis as one of the nation’s top public gardens. She has demonstrated a deep commitment to service – both for the Richmond region and the public relations community.

She welcomed international media and visitors on behalf of the Richmond region as Lewis Ginter took the international stage as a host site for the UCI Road World Championships. Beth was one of the first partners in the Richmond Region Tourism’s OutRVA campaign to attract LGBTQ+ travelers.
