Kelly Chunn & Associates Celebrates 20 Years of Positive Social Change
(Boston, MA) As National Small Business Week approaches on May 20, Kelley Chunn & Associates (KCA) is marking 20 years of providing multi-cultural, social marketing and public relations services in Boston and beyond. Kelley Chunn, principal of the collaborative consultancy said, “Twenty years ago I had a vision to use the power of communication and collaboration to promote positive social change and amplify the voices of underserved communities – from grassroots to global.”
“My entrepreneurial journey has been like a jazz improvisation-from starting my practice while teaching at Northeastern University’s School of Journalism and getting that first call to do a project for then Boston City Hospital –now Boston Medical Center - to landing my first major contract, the Tobacco Education Campaign for the Department of Public Health and taking the leap to become the sole proprietor of my own business. What a roller coaster ride it has been - and it’s not over yet.”
To recognize KCA’s achievements, Mayor Menino and Governor Patrick issued certificates of recognition and Boston City Councillor Charles Yancey issued a proclamation declaring May 1st as Kelley Chunn Day in the City of Boston.
Among those participating in the KCA recent celebratory reception at Taylor House in Jamaica Plain were: City Councillor Charles Yancey, City Councillor Tito Jackson, Reggie Nunnally, Executive Director of the Office of Supplier Diversity, Charlotte Golar Richie, Senior Vice-President of Policy, Advocacy & Government Relations forYouthBuild USA, Doctor Azzie Young, President and CEO of the Mattapan Community Health Center, Sarah Ann Shaw, Democratic State Committee, former TV News Reporter, activist and advocate, Sandra Casagrand of the Bay State Banner, Curtis Henderson, General Manager of Boston Neighborhood Network TV, and Marita Rivero, Vice President and General Manager of WGBH’s TV and radio stations.
