McDonald's PR Head Wins Achievement Award

Wayne resident Cheryll Forsatz, who serves as director of Communications for McDonald’s New York Metro region, was one of ten recipients of the 2013 annual National Asian Pacific American Corporate Achievement Awards. 

 The awards, given at a Friday, Nov. 8 dinner in San Francisco, were sponsored by Asian Pacific American Advocates (APAA), a national membership driven organization dedicated to advancing the social, political, and economic well-being of Asian Pacific Americans (APAs). 

 The annual ceremony recognizes APAs in the corporate sector who exemplify not only excellence in their profession, but also who demonstrate leadership and commitment in their respective communities, according to a APAA press release. 

As communications advisor for more than 600 McDonald's restaurants, Forsatz provides counsel on communications strategies for the region’s leadership team, staff and franchisees. Forsatz’s responsibilities include strengthening McDonald’s relationships with key internal and external audiences and directing public relations, public affairs, government relations and other activities. 

 "OCA is proud to recognize these ten extraordinary corporate citizens and community members who have embraced our mission by being leaders in their communities and by being committed to diversity in the workplace,” said OCA National President Sharon M. Wong.
