A graduate of Syracuse University, Donna Atkinson is a seasoned public relations professional who got her start opening a major department store between Macy's and Gimbels on Herald Square, in New York City.

A resident of Dallas Texas since 1986 and an expert in University and academic marketing and public relations, Donna has charmed the local, national and international media into providing coverage for special events at Fair Park, Dallas' largest collection of cultural attractions and home of the Cotton Bowl Stadium; and has successfully promoted 100 shopping mall special events.

Adept at working with community organizations, Donna has been instrumental in forwarding these organizations' objectives. She has also volunteered extensively throughout her career and was a Board of Directors member of the Philadelphia Club of Advertising Women, President of the West Point Parents Club of North Texas, and President of the Board of Dallas Community Television.
