Wilson to be honored at MPA reception
Longtime MPA/MPS executive director Carolyn Wilson will be honored June 22 with a special retirement reception during the 141st annual convention at the Beau Rivage. Wilson retired in February after 25 years with the organizations, 22 of which she spent as executive director.
The event gets underway at 6 p.m. and will include remarks from MPA President Marcus Bowers, publisher of the Rankin County News, and former MPA President Jack Tannehill, publisher of the Union Appeal. It was during Tannehill’s term as president that Wilson first joined the MPA staff in 1982.
The event will also include a special presentation from the Board of Directors and other surprises. The reception is open to all members and associates and to others by invitation.
