Memories of Erin’s time at Auburn came flooding back, recently. She didn’t write to tout her new honor. I just saw her note on her status at Facebook. “I’m so proud and honored.”
Well, you know I had to ask. So, I did. Erin shared that a high honor had been bestowed upon her by the good folks at Edelman. I share an excerpt from the announcement.

Erin Caldwell, SAE, Public Affairs, Washington, D.C., for pushing digital beyond its boundaries and showing us how to put the S in social media.

Congratulations, Erin!
