Thursday evening, April 11th, 6pm – 8pm We will be hosting Mr. Aaron Sherinian, the newly appointed Managing Directorof Global Communications  for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Speaking to Deseret News in January, he expressed that “faith matters more than ever, both for our worldwide church and in the everyday lives of people,” he said. He will be sharing with us the challenges and opportunities for faith-based communications.

Mr. Sherinian has more than two decades of experience in public relations and communications in corporate, philanthropic and diplomatic sectors both in the United States and internationally. He has held prominent positions at companies and organizations such as Deseret Management Corporation, The United Nations Foundation, Philips Morris International, the Aga Khan Development Network, and the Millenium Change Corporation.

He has helped build some of the most talked about milestones in digital global engagement around causes and UN issues over the last few years including the Social Good Summit, #GivingTuesday, Rio+Social, International Day of Happiness, and the Earth To Paris and Earth To Marrakech coalitions. He is a passionate supporter of efforts to build a new era of global activism and philanthropy among a younger generation that is emerging on the global scene.

Aaron was named by PRWeek as Global Public Relations Professional of the Year for 2016-2017 and by PRNews’ as 2017 CSR Professional of the Year. His team won three honors by PRNews as “Association/Nonprofit Team of the Year” in 2012, 2013, and 2015.
