After three decades, Suzanne Hall is ready to leave what she calls one of the best jobs in town, especially for an arts lover.

Hall, a longtime public relations specialist with VMFA, is retiring next week. After traveling for a month, she will become the director of stewardship and development at her longtime church, St. James Episcopal, beginning July 1.

Hall will be awarded tonight with “a lifetime achievement award of sorts” when she receives the Thomas Jefferson Award for Excellence in Public Relations, exemplifying the best in the profession at the Virginia Public Relations Awards.
