Local PR FIRM Recognized Nationally for Award Winning Advocacy and Lobbying Campaign
Clean Air Kansas campaign is a national finalist
 The campaign, in support of the passage of the Kansas Clean Indoor Air Act, was one of six national finalists for the top public relations campaign of the year in the category of advocacy and lobbying. Joyce Morrison of Media Events, a Lenexa public relations firm, lead the campaign's PR and Communications on behalf of the Sunflower Foundation in Topeka.
"We are proud to have played a part in the passage of this historic public health law in Kansas," said Billie Hall, president and CEO of the Topeka-based Sunflower Foundation, which supported the campaign. "We congratulate Joyce Morrison, for helping shape public opinion on the benefits of having smoke free public places and workplaces in Kansas."
The award winning campaign engaged constituents across the state to participate in passage of the successful Kansas Clean Indoor Air Act. The smoke free public health initiative identified and engaged more than 11,000 supporters of the statewide clean indoor air policy. More than 5,000 recorded constituent messages also were sent to state legislators.
The Kansas House of Representatives passed the statewide public smoking bill February 25, 2010. The bill, signed by Kansas Governor Mark Parkinson, took effect July 1, 2010.
