I think this should be reworded. Did this happen as a result of you? If so, be more specific. What did you do that increased the JES comm. services.
Consider bullet points rather than ~, it looks much more professional.
In my opinion, you have too many items listed here. It does not fit propotionately with your other work experience items.
Areas of Expertise are more of a CV item. If you decide to keep it I would put it towards the bottom.
Your work experience is a lot more extensive in your field than most. It is your main selling point so I would put it before education.
Present tense items (things you still do day to day) should be at the top and past tense items (projects youve completed) should be towards the bottom.
Are you still responsible for this? If not word it so that its past tense.
should still be in past tense
Watch allignment
new bullet
new bullet or incorporate as part of one sentence
This is very text heavy and not quantifiable.
get rid of whatever isnt essential - Unless you are going into consulting or international development work, theres no need for two pages of a resume - this section in particular is very long.
Doesnt everyone have references at request? Is this resume relevant information?
Your references section does not add value to the overall feel of your resume. I would consider removing this section.
Although we do not have as many two page resumes in the Razume community, I would consider researching the requirements behind a continuation header. It may be appropriate to remove this header, improving the look of your resume.
If your name and contact information are behind door number 2, I suggest removing them from the top of the second page. It is not necessary to state these items on each page, it simply takes up space.
Its not accurate to list this as "Publications" when you only have one items showing. I suggest adding additional items (if possible).
This experience is dated and your more recent positions do a much better job of selling you. I would leave out but that is your choice.
Most people will assume this these days.
I have mixed feelings on this section. Its great that you have all of these awards but listing them prevents you from having a one page resume.
Your above experience does more to sell you than this stuff. I wouldnt include it and try to get down to 1 page.

I have mixed feelings on this area. I like that you have recieved a lot of awards but I would remove if this was preventing you from getting down to a page.

Grammer, clearly you are a person of expertise communication and from the looks of it, you have dabbled in many forms. This is a slightly unfamiliar format to me but I think it serves the purpose of experience and seriousness. I do have some comments though. Please see text blurbs.
Overall, you have outstanding experience in your areas of expertise. My main concern is with your format. Although you have enough experience to merit a two page resume, I believe you can modify the format to really enhance the initial impression you give to prospective clients/employers. I have some comments : scroll over text bubbles to view. Additionally, given the high scores on your resume, consider sharing your knowledge with others in the Razume Community, especially those in PR, Marketing, Communications, etc.
As it currently stands, this is more of a CV than a resume. Others have already commented on the format so I focused on the content. I would prefer a one page resume because most HR people are flipping through a stack and don't have time to look at something stapled together. You have really strong experience for your particular field combined with great academic performance. My background is not in PR but from the jist of what you have listed I can tell that you seem to have a natural talent for it.
Your work experience is a little long for my taste, its hard to actually focus through reading it all.
When you use dashes (-) before points they appear subconsciously as negatives, if you change them to bullets the overall dynamic will be stronger. Good luck.

Remove "referrences available on request." It is unecessary. Otherwise looks really good.
Way, way, way too long. A resume just isn't a real page turner, ever. Tighten up the language, you don't need full sentences.
Otherwise it's great.
