Harris was presented the award on December 15, 2017, at the company’s annual Christmas party by Debra Levy, president.

“Erin is the glue that holds our office together,” says Levy. “She balances an incredible amount of duties, as well as working diligently with our advertisers. She always does so in a very sunny, detailed way, and I’m delighted to see her receive this award.”

Harris serves as the point of contact for print display advertisements, classifieds and suppliers guides. She has received this award previously in 2013 for her dedication and attention to quality with a positive disposition.

Key Communications Inc. changed its name to Key Media and Research effective January 1, 2018. (Only the company name changed; the magazines, products and other brand names have stayed  the same.) The change was made for two main reasons. First, the word “media” more broadly encompasses all the various platforms through which Key Media and Research serves its audiences—print, digital, live events, video etc. The word “research” was added to highlight how that area has expanded into a separate division.
