**Ralph Crosby, founder and chairman** of Annapolis-based [Crosby Marketing Communications](http://www.crosbymarketing.com/?ref=capitolcommunicator.com), has been awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award by the PRSA Maryland chapter.

**According to the chapter, the award honors a PR professional** whose career spans 15 years or more and who has exhibited extraordinary achievements and demonstrated outstanding leadership in the field of public relations.

**After graduating with honors from the University of Maryland School of Journalism** in 1956, Ralph Crosby began his career as a reporter and then columnist and editor for The Baltimore News American. From 1960 to 1970, he was a magazine editor and White House correspondent, and culminated his journalistic career as an editor with the Kiplinger organization.

**Among several entrepreneurial endeavors,** he founded what would become Crosby Marketing Communications in 1973\. The firm had one part-time employee who worked out of her basement. Today, 42 years later and with an office in Washington, D.C., Crosby ranks as one of the top-50 independent PR firms in the country with a list of blue-chip clients including Kaiser Permanente, DuPont, the EPA ENERGY STAR Program, Social Security Administration, Catholic Relief Services, Saint Agnes Hospital and Disabled American Veterans.
