LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION honoring Peter Burakowski upon the occasion of
his designation as recipient of The Odysseus Award by the Advertising
Club of Buffalo on March 4, 2016

WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body that individuals who
distinguish themselves in their profession, dedicating themselves to its
enhancement and leading it in new directions, are an asset beyond remun-
eration and cannot be sufficiently extolled; and
WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its long-
standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to honor
Peter Burakowski upon the occasion of his designation as recipient of
The Odysseus Award by the Advertising Club of Buffalo at its 2016 West-
ern New York American Advertising Award Show on Friday, March 4, 2016,
at Statler City, Buffalo, New York; and
WHEREAS, The theme of this year's Award Show was "Married to Your
Work" which paid homage to the labor of love in advertising; and
WHEREAS, The Advertising Club of Buffalo supports and connects commu-
nications professionals in Western New York; it strives to bridge the
gaps between passions, occupations and experience levels to create a
single unified community that provides national industry involvement
with a local focus; and
WHEREAS, Peter Burakowski, Director of Marketing at 43North, was
honored with The Odysseus Award; established in 2011 by the Advertising
Club of Buffalo, this award honors a client in the Western New York
market, individual or group/department, who has used the discipline of
strategic marketing and advertising in an extraordinary way; and
WHEREAS, Rare indeed is the impressive dedication shown by an individ-
ual for the benefit of others which Peter Burakowski has displayed
throughout his career and life; and

uals of such noble aims and accomplishments are brought to our atten-
tion, they should be celebrated and recognized by all the citizens of
this great Empire State; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
honor Peter Burakowski upon the occasion of his designation as recipient
of The Odysseus Award by the Advertising Club of Buffalo; and be it
