WASHINGTON — Sheila Tate, press secretary to Nancy Reagan for the last four years, plans to resign to take a senior vice presidency at the nation’s largest public relations firm, Burson-Marsteller, the White House said today.
Tate, who often is credited with helping turn the First Lady’s image around after she encountered a barrage of criticism about her designer clothes and society friends at the outset of her husband’s first term, said she will leave the White House in February. No replacement has been named.
