Calkin Public Affairs Receives Two PRSA Awards
Calkin Public Affairs has been named Influential Agency of the Year and recognized for its "A Seat at the Table" event. The awards were presented by the PRSA California Capital Chapter.
Sacramento, Calif. – Calkin Public Affairs has received two awards from the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) California Capital Chapter. The firm was named Influential Agency of the Year and was recognized in the Programs and Campaigns: Special Events category for its "A Seat at the Table: Fueling Student Success Through School Meals" event.
The Influential Agency of the Year award acknowledges an agency that advances the communications profession and sets a standard for excellence. In under two years, Calkin Public Affairs has expanded from its founder and a team of three to thirteen public affairs strategists. This growth has broadened the firm's reach across California, allowing it to serve government and private sector clients in areas including water, energy, environmental policy, and transportation.
Held on August 18, 2025, the "A Seat at the Table" event invited policymakers to sample a school-lunch-inspired meal. The meal was prepared by a local school district using ingredients sourced from California beef and dairy producers. Over 60 legislative staff and agency representatives engaged directly with farmers, ranchers, and nutrition professionals.
These two awards highlight Calkin Public Affairs' impact over the past year. The firm intends to continue its growth and expand its service offerings to clients throughout California.
