The Arthur W. Page Society is a select membership organization for senior
public relations and corporate communications executives who seek to enrich
and strengthen their profession.
The Society is named in honor of Arthur W. Page, who served as vice president
of public relations for the American Telephone and Telegraph Company from 1927
to 1946. He was the first person in a public relations position to serve
as an officer and member of the Board of Directors of a major public corporation. In
the decades since, Page has become generally recognized as the dean of public
relations and communications. In the course of his writing, Page established
a series of management concepts which are today referred to as the Page Principles.
Since its incorporation as a non-profit organization in December 1983, as an
outgrowth of the pre-divestiture Bell System, the Society has sought to bring
together senior communications executives representing a wide spectrum of industries
who are interested in helping each other and perpetuating the high professional
standards set by Arthur W. Page. Its ultimate goal is to assist the public
relations officer in becoming a major contributor to the success of the corporation.
