Short Bio: Recipient of HSMAI’s 2011 Lifetime Achievement Award, Nancy founded NJFPR in 1987 following a formative career in travel, entertainment, and destination public relations. NJFPR’s “Leave No Stone Unturned” philosophy has catapulted the firm to the top of the category in travel and hospitality. For clients seeking senior level counsel, advocacy of their product and unrivalled media savvy, Nancy J. Friedman Public Relations is a first-stop.
