George Magazine is thrilled to announce the appointment of Karen Walker as its new Public Relations Manager. With her strong background in event coordination and customer relations, Karen is poised to elevate the magazine's outreach to both its business-to-business contacts and its international customer base.

Karen Walker’s Key Role and Impact

Dave Blaze, CEO of George Magazine, expressed enthusiasm about the appointment: "Karen was instrumental in our sold-out George Magazine Live event last year. We had attendees from various parts of the country, and Karen was key in coordinating the event, making it a success."

The George Magazine Live 2024 event was held at Horner Hall at Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas, and Walker’s organizational skills were critical in ensuring the smooth execution of the event. She coordinated volunteers, managed convention staff, and acted as the main point of contact for guests.

Expanding Responsibilities

In addition to continuing her coordination role for George Live 2025, Karen will now take on the added responsibility as Public Relations Manager for George Magazine.

Gene Ho, Editor-in-Chief, praised Karen's exceptional people skills: "Our readers talk about Karen all the time after meeting her at last year’s event. She’s truly a ‘people person’—someone who connects with everyone she meets, making her the perfect fit for this role."

Public Relations and Business Partnerships

In her new role, Karen will also be involved in managing the magazine’s business relationships. Since George Magazine is selective about its advertising partners, part of her duties will be to vet businesses that wish to collaborate with the publication, ensuring that their values align with those of the magazine.

Karen Walker’s transition to Public Relations Manager marks an exciting new chapter for George Magazine. With her strong interpersonal skills, organizational expertise, and dedication to customer relations, Karen is set to enhance the magazine’s brand visibility and business partnerships, making her a valuable asset to the team.
