The John W. Dillin Award honors the spirit, dedication and lifetime of service embodied by FPRAโ€™s founder and first president, Lt. Col. John W. Dillin. This yearโ€™s recipient has spent more than four decades doing exactly that.

Mickey joined FPRA in 1982 and has been shaping the Association ever since serving as Pensacola Chapter President, FPRA State President, trusted advisor, mentor, keynote speaker and champion for accreditation and professional development.

His impact reaches far beyond FPRA. Over the course of his career, Mickey spent more than 22 years with Ogilvy Public Relations, counseled some of the worldโ€™s most recognized brands, served as Chair and CEO of PRSA and received PRSAโ€™s Gold Anvil Award for lifetime achievement and ethical leadership.

And then came what Mickey calls his โ€œcareer encoreโ€, returning to the University of Florida to mentor the next generation. Through his work with students, PRSA and UFโ€™s FPRA student chapter, Mickey has helped open doors, build confidence and launch careers that will shape our profession for years to come.

Few people leave a legacy that spans chapters, states, national organizations and generations.

Mickey has done exactly that with vision, integrity, generosity and, of course, plenty of humor along the way.

Congratulations, Mickey, on this incredibly well-deserved honor! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ‘

Day one of Summit: complete! โœ… We had a full day of learning all things PR and communications, from โ€œNavigating the New Media Frontierโ€ during the Dillin Keynote session to breakout sessions around podcasting, AI, media pitching, organizational values, and everything in between.

The highlight of the day was the Presidentsโ€™ Luncheon, where FPRA Pensacola board member Andie Gibson was recognized in the 2026 Joe Curley, APR, CPRC Rising Leader Class, and our chapter took home the Strengthening Infrastructure award. The famous Dillin Dessert? Dubai chocolate cake presented by Publix Super Markets ๐Ÿฐ
