“Washington’s PR Woman of the Year can only be Jan.”
David Frost
PBS Moderator
“Few people seem to know the ins and outs of the television and journalistic world of Washington, the way Jan does, and few move through it with more efficiency and grace. In her wake she leaves her clients satisfied , her friends amazed, her town better for her efforts. It has been my pleasure to work with Jan for almost a decade…I count her among my friends. …warm, able, resourceful….abundantly cheerful….astounding energy, her heart in the right place.”

“For a decade now it has been my pleasure and privilege to work on various projects with Jan. None of my colleagues over the years has been more imaginative, resourceful, more imaginative, or more productive—not to mention more of a joy at collaboration—than Jan. From big challenges to modest ones, she has always come through, making friends of skeptics and allies of strangers and producing team work where individual efforts alone were insufficient……she’s outstanding.”
