ATLANTA, May 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Longtime Atlanta journalist and public relations professional Gina Espinosa-Meltzer has reached an agreement in principle to acquire the equity of the late Paul Beckham in Hope-Beckham Inc. and merge her GPR Global into Hope-Beckham. The emerging public relations agency will continue to be called Hope-Beckham.
Espinosa-Meltzer formed GPR Global a dozen years ago after a career in journalism and media relations, including serving as news editor of Mundo Hispanico and stints as a producer and correspondent for CNN, BBC and Radio Netherlands. She served as media director of the Georgia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce before founding her own public relations agency. GPR Global soon became one of the leading multi-cultural communications and public affairs agencies in the Southeast.

P2K (formerly Precision 2000), where Ms. Obregon is co-founder and CEO, started in 2017 with $40,000 set aside to be doled out in $10,000-per-year increments over four years to Colombian students that had gained admission to Tech’s master of science program in building construction and facility management. She later tacked on another $10,000.
Now, Precision 2000 is doubling its initial contribution, laying out another $50,000 over the next year for the fellowship.
