The Community Powering Women in Media

Women in Media is powered by people. The members, partners, sponsors, speakers, volunteers and supporters who back our work and make it possible for us to foster connection and increase confidence and visibility for women as they progress through their careers. We’re deeply grateful to everyone who championed Women in Media this year and helped us continue empowering women to thrive through connection, professional development and advocacy.
