The Publicity Club of New England welcomes Emmy Award-winning journalist, Frank Holland of WCVB Channel 5, as host the 48th Annual Bell Ringer Awards Ceremony (“The Bells”) on Thursday, June 9, 2016, at the House of Blues in Boston. The Pub Club is the region’s oldest not-for-profit public relations trade organization and the Bell Ringers Awards competition recognizes the top PR work and practitioners in the region.
“Frank Holland’s presence and personality will bring the ultimate balance of energy and reverence to celebrate the best of communications in New England,” said Karyn Martin, president of the Publicity Club of New England for the 2015-2016 season. “Frank has become a leading force behind the news in New England, and we are honored to have him host this year. This is an evening to kick back with your colleagues and take a moment to recognize just how amazing they all are.”
About Frank Holland
Frank Holland has been a reporter for WCVB Channel 5’s award-winning NewsCenter 5 team since July of 2014. Previously he has been a reporter and anchor in Chicago and Detroit. Always actively involved in his local community, Holland has lent his time and talents volunteering for the YMCA in Chicago and is a member of the Urban League.
For this year’s charity recipient, Holland has selected Guide Right, a youth-oriented leadership, mentoring, college preparatory programs, and tutoring program for high school and college students supported by the Greater-Boston Kappa Charities and affiliated with the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity.
The Pub Club will collect donations at the Bell Ringer Awards ceremony for Guide Right and make a matching donation in honor of Holland.
