Sue Bohle, APR, Fellow PRSA

Sue Bohle is a highly regarded public relations professional. She started her career at Burson-Marsteller, the world's largest public relations agency. She was then hired by the J. Walter Thompson Co. to help the firm develop a PR presence in Los Angeles. Within three years, she became JWT's first vice president on the West Coast and a year later, the first woman in Los Angeles to be named general manager of an office of an international PR firm.

In 1979, Sue decided to open her own public relations firm. Today, The Bohle Company is one of the 50 largest independent PR agencies in the country and the largest technology-focused firm in Southern California.

Active professionally, Sue is both a member and former chair of the College of Fellows, PRSA, an honor bestowed on professionals judged to be role models in the PR industry. She is also past chairman of the Counselors Academy, a national organization of heads of agencies, as well as past president of the Los Angeles Chapter of Public Relations Society of America.

Sue holds both bachelor's and master's degrees from Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism. Before getting into public relations, she was an instructor in journalism at both the high school and college levels.
