ANDY LESNIK RECEIVES 2008 SILVER MEDAL AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTIONS TO ADVERTISING
This year’s winner has more than 30 years of experience in the industry – and is regarded as one of our area’s truly outstanding strategic thinkers. A native of South Orange, New Jersey, and a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Harvard, he moved to Myrtle Beach in 1970. In 1971, he co-founded Sheriar Press, currently the most award-winning printing company in South Carolina, and in 1977, founded an advertising agency that merged into LHWH Advertising & Public Relations in 1987.
Our recipient has been involved in AAF-Coastal Carolinas since its inception, and his involvement in the community spans decades. Through Sheriar Press and LHWH, he has contributed to countless pro bono projects to assist a wide range of local organizations. He was instrumental in the creation of A Future for Kids, a special program administered by SOS Healthcare, a non-profit agency that provides health care and other basic necessities for underprivileged children throughout Horry County. He was a founding member of Business Education Expectations (BE2), a not-for-profit designed to provide vital support for the Early College High School in Horry County. A member of the Printing Industries of the Carolinas (PICA) for many years, he currently serves as chairman of its board of directors. And he is a founder and director of Sheriar Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to spiritual purposes.
He and his wife, Dot, have been married for 36 years and have two daughters. Please join us in congratulating Andy Lesnik, our Silver Medal Award winner for 2008.
